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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““extrajudicial foreclosure is not a statutory right_ It is the contracting parties who create and include the power of sale provision in the deed of trust.... The state is not directly involved in an extrajudicial foreclosure; [state] law merely ‘recognizes the validity of [contractual power of sale] provisions ... [and] foreclosures accomplished pursuant to [such provisions] and establishes] minimum standards which must be met if there is to be foreclosure pursuant to a contractual power of sale.’ ””
