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 53 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) the state’s legal liability for a judgment; (2) the degree of autonomy from the state—both as a matter of law and the amount of guidance and control exercised by the state; and (3) the extent of financing the agency receives independent of the state treasury and its ability to provide for its own financing.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“legal liability for a judgment, rather than [on the] practical, or indirect, impact a judgment would have on a state's treasury.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Because of the open-ended nature of the arm-of-the-state analysis, it is easy to become caught up in the minutiae of state law, such as the extent of control over the Board by the executive and legislature, the details of the risk management funds operation, and the proportional sources of the Board’s funding. These details, however, must not eclipse a fundamental distinction ... between alter egos or instrumentalities of the state on the one hand, and political subdivisions such as cities and counties on the other.”
