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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * The purpose of Article 23 as set out in G.S. 7A-277 is ‘to provide procedures and resources for children under the age of sixteen years which are different in purpose and philosophy from the procedures applicable to criminal eases involving adults.’ See In re Whichard, 8 N.C. App. 154 , 174 S.E. 2d 281 , appeal dismissed 276 N.C. 727 (1970). G.S. 7A-285 provides that ‘The Juvenile hearing shall be a simple judicial process designed to adjudicate the existence or nonexistence of any of the conditions defined by G.S. 7A-278(1) through (5) which have been alleged to exist, . . . ’ We believe the informal procedure contemplated by the statute allows the questioning of witnesses by the trial judge to elicit relevant testimony and to aid in arriving at the truth. * * * ””
