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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “Baluch involved an order requiring the husband in a divorce suit to pay his wife’s interim attorney’s fees.... While in the present case, there has been much said about attorney’s fees, the language of the orders as well as the testimony at the contempt hearing make it clear that the money in the present case was to be used for discovery costs and expenses, not attorney’s fees. We, therefore, hold that Bar luch is inapplicable to the present case.”

  2. “In this child custody case, the overriding consideration is the best interest of the four-year-old child.... We believe it will be in her best interest for her mother to have a forum in which to present her claim of conservatorship in the upcoming trial, without having to await an appeal and possibly a second trial.”
