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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Cornelius may not have survived [Collins].”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“nothing in the school’s policy required Mitchell to wait where he did. Even if, as appellant alleges, Mitchell was not allowed to wait inside the administration office, Mitchell had the option of waiting either inside the building or immediately outside.... Instead of waiting there, Mitchell stood a considerable distance away on the edge of the school’s parking lot. We conclude that it is beyond doubt that appellant cannot prove a set of facts that any school policy required Mitchell to wait in an inherently dangerous location [such that the state created the danger].”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[The plaintiff] must show that the state affirmatively placed him in a position of danger which was distinguishable from that of the general public.”
