Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(1) by any court of record, or by the proper officer of the court;
(2) under the authority of law, or the direction of the court; and
