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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States, as defined in section 705(20) of this title, shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance or under any program or activity conducted by any Executive agency or by the United States Postal Service.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[requiring the City to maintain its sidewalks so that they are accessible to individuals with disabilities is consistent with the tenor of [28 C.F.R.] § 35.150, which requires the provision of curb ramps, ‘giving priority to walkways servicing’ government offices, ‘transportation, places of public accommodation, and employers,’ but then ‘followed by walkways serving other areas.’ 28 C.F.R. § 35.150 (d)(2). Section 35.150’s requirement of curb ramps in all pedestrian walkways reveals a general concern for the accessibility of public sidewalks, as well as a recognition that sidewalks fall within the ADA’s coverage, and would be meaningless if the sidewalks between the curb ramps were inaccessible.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Contrary to her assertion, Bird does not prevail on the ADA or Rehab claim simply because the College failed to provide her with wheelchair access on a number of occasions .... [rather] the central inquiry is whether the program, ‘when viewed in its entirety, is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.'”
