Statutes the citing opinions construe

LA § La. Rev. Stat. § 15:438 (5)

Counted by distinct opinions that both name this issue and are annotated to the section; sections every opinion cites regardless of issue are not filtered here, so read the counts against the total above.

Where else courts name it

TX 114 (1992–2025) LA 20 (2001–2025) CA 14 (1994–2026) AR 6 (2016–2024) MI 5 (2016–2018) FL 3 (1987–2007)

Opinions by the citing court's state. A doctrine retained in one state and abandoned in another shows up here as a year span that stalls.
