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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““After the opening brief was filed appellant by letter discharged his attorney and on October 28, 1946, appellant filed a verified document with this court alleging various claimed acts of misconduct upon the part of his attorney by reason of which he alleged that he was prejudiced in the trial court and on his appeal. He was notified by letter mailed the same day that if he desired to file an additional opening brief he should forward a letter to the clerk asking for time to do so. No reply has been received to this letter, and for that reason we now feel justified in acting upon his appeal . . . .””
