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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(2) The court shall not include in the estate the value of any retirement benefits acquired prior to the marriage including any interest or appreciation of the benefits.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"In other types of civil cases, we do not allow a party who fails to present substantial evidence to overcome a judgment as a matter of law a second chance to present additional evidence to support the party's claim. See, e.g., G.UB.MK. Constructors v. Carson, 812 So.2d 1175 (Ala.2001); Arthur Rutenberg Homes, Inc. v. Norris, 804 So.2d 180 (Ala.2001); Thedford v. Payne, 813 So.2d 905 (Ala. Civ.App.2001); Tom Jones Insurance, Inc. v. Sinclair-Lawrence & Associates, Inc., 775 So.2d 211 (Ala.Civ.App.2000). The practice of reversing a judgment because of insufficient evidence and remanding for the taking of additional evidence rewards a party who failed to meet its burden of proof and punishes the other party, who was not at fault, by requiring the expenditure of time, effort and expense in conducting further evidentiary proceedings."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“"`without legal evidence as to the amounts required for books and tuition or for actual costs of room and board, we cannot determine whether the sums a parent is required to pay for postminority educational support would cause undue hardship.
