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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It seems that the agreement of the attorneys in a cause, made in pursuance of the terms of this statute, is as binding upon the parties as would be a contract entered into by, themselves. Norman v. Burns, 67 Ala. 248 ; Charles v. Miller, 36 Ala. 141 . If agreements so made have such effect, then they may not be set aside upon any lower grounds than would warrant a rescission of a contract, — namely,. fraud, collusion, accident, surprise, or some ground of the same nature.””
