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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"***The trial court correctly held that the second and third leases involved herein were void. Counsel’s second contention is that if said lease should be found to be void, then the defendant was a tenant at will of plaintiffs at the. time of institution of this suit, and as such was entitled to retain possession of premises. We think that there is no merit in this contention: the leases in question being void, the defendant could claim no rights thereunder. * * * ””
