Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`Jurisdiction includes not only the power to hear and determine a cause, but to enter and enforce a judgment. If there is no right in the court to enter the particular judgment entered, the entry is without jurisdiction. Tebbetts v. People , 31 Colo. 461 , 473 , 13 Pac. 869 ; People v. Burke , 72 Colo. 486 , 212 Pac. 837 , 844 ; Windsor v. McVeigh , 93 U.S. 274 , 23 L. Ed. 914 . In the last-named case the court points out that, if a court having jurisdiction of the parties and the subject matter, renders a judgment in which it transcends the power conferred by law, in so doing it acts without jurisdiction, and its judgment is void.' Williams v. Hankins , 75 Colo. 136 , 225 Pac. 243 .”
