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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While the Family Court Act specifically states that the proceedings held thereunder are not criminal in nature, the various provisions made for the protection of the rights of children who are charged with juvenile delinquency are indicative of a legislative recognition of the fact that such proceedings, resulting as they do in a loss of personal freedom, are at the very least quasi-criminal in nature. As the legislative committee report states: ‘Any, commitment — whether “civil” or “criminal”, whether assertedly for “punitive” or “rehabilitative” purposes — involves a grave interference with personal liberty.’ ” In the matter of Gregory W., supra, at 62, 277 N.Y.S.2d at 680 , 224 N.E.2d at 106 .”
