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

1. ““The application filed in the county court was expressly authorized by the provisions of articles 3433, 3434, and 3435, and in article 3434 the executor or administrator is the only person named upon whom citation must be served. That was a special statutory procedure in which the executor was made the legal representative of all persons interested in the estate. * ⅜ And the proceeding being statutory, there is no basis for application of the common-law rule that all persons whose interests are to be affected must be made parties to the suit. It is therefore clear that there was no lack of necessary parties.””

2. ““In proceedings under the provisions of the statutes invoked by appellant’s counsel, the Executor or Ad-minstrator with the will annexed is the only party required to be cited to answer the application of the plaintiff. Art. 1993. (Art. 3434). No provision is made for making any other person a party defendant.” (Parenthetical matter supplied.)”
