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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is well to remember that in making "a clean break with the past," the Code defines crimes to match criminal conduct more precisely than did pre-Code law. See State v. Mirault, 92 N.J. 492, 496 [ 457 A. 2d 455 ] (1983). It presents a complete and carefully structured system that fits punishments to the crimes committed. [ State v. Williams, 197 N.J. Super. 127, 133 , 484 A. 2d 331 (App.Div. 1984), certif. denied, 99 N.J. 233 , 491 A. 2d 722 (1985).]”
