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 49 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The right to challenge a certain number of jurors peremptorily is absolute under the statute. (Code Civ. Proc., 601.) The fact that the appellant had once passed the jury, including the juror afterward sought to be challenged, did not cut off this right. The proper practice in the selection of a jury in a civil case is to fill the panel, and upon one of the jurors being challenged for any cause, or 'without cause,' to immediately call another to take his place, so that a party, in determining whether to challenge or not, may do so with a full panel before him.
