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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When an appellate court vacates a [lower] court’s judgment and remands for findings of fact and conclusions of law on a specific issue, this does not permit the [lower] court to reopen the case for other purposes. Instead, the scope of the [lower] court’s authority to act on remand is limited to the specific purpose of making the applicable findings and conclusions.”
