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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under the [Children’s] Code, when a child is adjudicated a delinquent, the children’s court enters a judgment making ‘a juvenile disposition.’ Indeed, the [Children’s] Code uses the word ‘sentence’ only when referring to an ‘adult sentence’ which, under the [Children’s] Code, may only be imposed upon a youthful offender or a serious youthful offender. . . . The distinct and deliberate use of these terms in the [Children’s] Code indicates the Code’s intent to treat juvenile offenders differently from adult criminals.”
