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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Mokal v. Derwinski, 1 Vet.App. 12, 15 (1990), we adopted “as a matter of policy the jurisdictional restrictions of the Article III case or controversy rubric.” When there is no case or controversy, or when a once live case or controversy becomes moot, the Court lacks jurisdiction.”
