citing decisions per year

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.

A party whose rights and duties may be affected by a suit for modification is entitled to receive notice by service of citation.
