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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Pursuant to NRS 612.515(3), the Board of Review is authorized to “affirm, modify or reverse” a decision of the appeals referee. The Board may act “solely on the basis of evidence previously submitted, or upon the basis of such additional evidence as it may direct to be taken.” Id. The district court’s power to review a decision of the Board, however, is more limited. Where review is sought, the factual findings of the Board, if “supported by evidence . . . shall be conclusive, and the jurisdiction of the court shall be confined to questions of law.” NRS 612.530(4). Our decisional law is to the same effect. ... In short, while the Board of Review is empowered to conduct a de novo review of the decisions of the appeals referee, the district court has no similar authority with respect to the decisions of the Board.”
