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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[A]t the expiration of the probationary period no salary or other compensation shall be paid to any such person, unless the appointing authority has filed with the personnel administrator a statement in writing that the services of the appointee during the probationary period have been satisfactory and that it is desired that he be continued in the service.” General Laws 1956 (1969 Reenactment) § 36-4-28.”
