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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“At one point, Gibson did instruct the EEOC investigator that he would settle his case for a 'monetary cash award' . . . . It would be simpler if we could say that [by doing so] Gibson put the EEOC on notice he was seeking compensatory damages . . . but the record does not support it.”
