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.
““While work-product materials are subject to a qualified privilege, so that discovery is permitted upon a showing of substantial need and undue hardship, the attorney-client privilege is almost absolute, subject to certain narrow exceptions that have nothing to do with undue hardship and substantial need. Ex parte Great American Surplus Lines Ins. Co., 540 So.2d 1357 (Ala.1989). I am therefore unwilling to adopt a qualification of the psychotherapist-patient privilege, because § 34-26-2, Ala.Code 1975, requires that that privilege be placed on the same basis as the attorney-client privilege.””
