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 127 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Section 46b-56 (b) does not require that the trial court award custody to whomever the child wishes; it requires only that the court take the child's wishes into consideration. . . . The ultimate concern of the trial court is to decide what is in the best interests of the child. . . . Although the child's wish is one factor for the court to consider in making that decision, it is certainly not the only one.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“a claim of judicial bias strikes at the very core of judicial integrity and tends to undermine public confidence in the established judiciary.... No more elementary statement concerning the judiciary can be made than that the conduct of the trial judge must be characterized by the highest degree of impartiality. If [the judge] departs from this standard, he [or she] casts serious reflection upon the system of which [the judge] is a part.... We review this [unpreserved] claim [of partiality], therefore ... under a plain error standard of review.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Practice Book [§ 13-4] does not explicitly require that the disclosure be in writing. . . . Although the text of the rule does not explicitly require the writing, in order for the trial court to proceed with the orderly flow of business, disclosure must be made in writing. It would be a cumbersome task for a trial court to determine a party's compliance with [13-4] without written disclosure.”
