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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Prior to the 1982 introduction of the two-part statutory test that parental custody be shown to be “detrimental” to the child and that divestiture be “required to serve the best interest of the child,” the courts had followed the jurisprudential formula: “the parent ... may be deprived of ... custody only when (he) has forfeited his or her right to parenthood, ... is unfit, or ... is unable to provide a home for the child.” La. C.C. art. 133, cmt. (b) (citing Deville v. LaGrange, 388 So.2d 696, 697-98 (La.1980)).”
