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.
““It is evident that there may be disputes between parents and non-parents under either R.C. 3109.04 or 2151.23, and it would be inconsistent and unwise to have two distinct substantive law tests, one for each statute. * * * Thus, by re-introducing the suitability test [in Perales ] the court in effect modified Boyer, supra, and its construction of R.C. 3109.04.” Thrasher, supra, 3 Ohio App.3d at 213 , 3 OBR at 243, 444 N.E.2d at 434 .”
