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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`[A] party to a proceeding who seeks to invoke a provision of the ... Act has the burden to show that the Act applies in the proceedings.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“equivocal testimony of the party seeking to invoke the Act, standing alone, is insufficient to meet this burden.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The [trial] court deemed it was in [the child's] best interests not to have respondent present in chambers during its questioning of the child. . . . Nevertheless, the court did allow all three attorneys, including respondent's attorney, to be present in chambers and gave each attorney ample opportunity to question [the child]. Since respondent's interests were represented by his attorney in chambers and the court's assessment of what was in [the child's] best interests was reasonable, we find no error.”
