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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “[a]n employer shall be deemed to have engaged in actions prohibited ... under subsection (a), if the person's membership [or] ... service in the uniformed services is a motivating factor in the employer's action, unless the employer can prove that the action would have been taken in the absence of such membership ... or ... service.”

  2. “Remedies available for violations of USERRA include: (1) injunctive relief, (2) lost wages or benefits suffered as a result of a USERRA violation, and (3) liquidated damages in an amount equal to the amount of lost wages or benefits if the employer's violation was willful.”

  3. “[m]erely knowing that a military beneficiary was asserting a USERRA claim is not, by itself, reckless disregard where, for example, the employer's decision was based on the exercise of a business judgment such as the employer's financial hardship.”
