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 57 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The acknowledgment of a married woman to an instrument purporting to be executed by her, must not be taken unless she is made acquainted by the officer with the contents of the instrument on an examination without the hearing of her husband; nor certified unless she thereupon acknowledges to the officer that she executed the instrument, and that she does not wish to retract such execution.” (Civ. Code, sec. 1186.) “A conveyance by a married woman has the same effect as if she were unmarried, and may be acknowledged in the same manner (except as mentioned in the last section, but such conveyance has no validity until so acknowledged).” (Civ. Code, sec. 1187.)”
