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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We conclude that the Legislature cannot, by legislative act, divest the district courts of the original jurisdiction fixed by the Constitution in those civil matters, such as tort actions, in which the Constitution does not otherwise provide for original jurisdiction in other tribunals. The Legislature, of course, is free to enact procedures for initial submission of tort claims by prison inmates to an administrative agency for review, for example, of frivolous claims, as long as the action of the administrative agency does not constitute the exercise of original jurisdiction.”

Snoddy v. City of Marksville, 97-327 (La.App. 3 Cir. 10/8/97) , 702 So.2d 890 . It is sufficient if Plaintiffs petition fairly informs 14Pefendants of the nature of the cause of action and includes sufficient substantive particulars to enable them to prepare their defense. Id.”
