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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““ * * * In 20 Am.Jur. Sec. 17 it is said ‘Judicial knowledge cannot be resorted to so as to raise controversies not presented by the record. The right of a court to act upon that which is in point of fact known to it must be subordinate to those requirements of form and orderly communication which regulate the mode of bringing controversies into court and of stating and conducting them.’ Section 27 says ‘in the event a party relies on the judicial knowledge of the trial judge as to local conditions, he must in some form procure that knowledge to be brought in to the record, so that an appellate court may rely thereupon * *.’ ””
