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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he essential feature of Malingering is the intentional production of false or grossly exaggerated physical or psychological symptoms, motivated by external incentives such as avoiding military duty, avoiding work, obtaining financial compensation, evading criminal prosecution, or obtaining drugs.... Malingering should be strongly suspected if any combination of the following is noted: 1. Medicolegal context of presentation (e.g., the person is referred by an attorney to the clinician for examination) 2. Marked discrepancy between the person's claimed stress or disability and the objective findings 3. Lack of cooperation during the diagnostic evaluation and in complying with the prescribed treatment regimen 4. The presence of Antisocial Personality Disorder.”
