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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In this case, Mr. Edwards had requested review of both Board decisions issued June 17, 2002, and he received review of two Board decisions with intertwined issues by the Court through a single judge. That decision remained intact through a motion for panel review, a motion for reconsideration by the panel, a motion for full-Court review, and an appeal to the Federal Circuit. As a result, the decision of the Court to vacate and remand the June 2002 Board decisions remains undisturbed, and the matters are now pending before VA. The Court reiterates that Mr. Edwards is free to abandon particular claims and limit the scope of his review before the Board or regional office to the issue of clear and unmistakable error in a prior Board decision if he so chooses. He may not, however, petition this Court for a writ that would effectively allow him to bypass the standard appeals process.”
