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

1. “the State failed to cite Green in its brief to the Court of Appeals, and even after the Court of Appeals issued a decision that was inconsistent with Green , the State filed no motion for reconsideration and otherwise did nothing to bring Green to the attention of the Court of Appeals. We take this occasion to remind lawyers of their obligation to bring pertinent legal authority to the attention of the courts and to do so in a timely manner.”
