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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“where adequate state remedies exist, no Corum claim will lie. The pleadings indicate that [the] plaintiff had a number of alternative state law remedies whereby he could have pursued the damages he seeks. [The p]laintiff could have sought judicial review of the final BOG decision under Chapter 150B of the [APA]. [The p]laintiff also could have sued the University for breach of contract, since the State implicitly consents to be sued for damages on the contract in the event it breaches the contract.”
