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 102 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In determining whether the individual CYS officials are entitled to claim qualified immunity, we engage in a three-part inquiry: (1) whether the plaintiffs alleged a violation of their statutory or constitutional rights; (2) whether the right alleged to have been violated was clearly established in the existing law at the time of the violation; and (3) whether a reasonable official should have known that the alleged action violated the plaintiffs’ rights. Rouse v. Plantier, 182 F.3d 192, 196-97 (3d Cir.1999).... The second and third parts are related, and involve an inquiry into the “objective legal reasonableness” of an official’s action, assessed in light of legal rules that were “clearly established” at the time the officials took the action. Anderson v. Creighton, 483 U.S. 635, 639 , 107 S.Ct. 3034 , 97 L.Ed.2d 523 (1987) (internal quotations and citation omitted). Rights may be clearly established even though the precise conduct at issue has not yet been declared unlawful See id. at 640, 483 U.S. 635 , 107 S.Ct. 3034 , 97 L.Ed.2d 523 . Throughout the inquiry, the officials’ subjective intent is irrelevant. See id. at 639 , 483 U.S. 635 , 107 S.Ct. 3034 , 97 L.Ed.2d 523 . The Supreme Court has directed that the right in question should be defined in a particularized and relevant manner, rather than abstractly. See id. at 640 , 483 U.S. 635 , 107 S.Ct. 3034 , 97 L.Ed.2d 523 .”
