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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Plaintiffs assertion that the Superior Court erred in finding that defendant’s Booklet did not alter the “at will” status of her employment is, likewise, without merit. This issue is one of first impression in this Court. Other jurisdictions, however, have resolved the question against the employee at will where the booklet has been deemed to be merely a unilateral statement of company policies and where it does not set out a definite term of employment for company employees____ The Booklet in question here was issued by defendant after plaintiff began her employment. It was a unilateral expression of the defendant’s policies and procedures on a number of topics, issued for the guidance and benefit of employees. The Booklet does not grant to any employee a specific term of employment and does not, therefore, alter plaintiff’s “at will” employment status. No error was committed by the Superior Court in awarding summary judgment for defendant, (citations omitted)”
