The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“A juvenile court referee acting without the parties' consent may perform only `subordinate judicial duties.' (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 22.) A juvenile court judge who reviews an application for rehearing a referee's findings must base a decision to adopt those findings on data `sufficient for forming a judgment independent from that of the referee. Under these circumstances the referee's initial findings and orders become only advisory and their rendition constitutes no more than a subordinate judicial duty. [Citation.]' ( In re Edgar M. [(1975)] 14 Cal.3d 727, 736 .)”
