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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The record before us and before the Municipal Court of Appeals is woefully inadequate for [reviewing the Juvenile Court’s waiver determination] * * *. We can only speculate that the Juvenile Court may have relied on information in the social and probation reports and other information accumulated during the preceding two years, as well as interviews admittedly had with the juvenile and his mother following his arrest, and perhaps other factors. Patently on such a record, the Municipal Court of Appeals was not in a position to ascertain what investigation was made.” Kent v. Reid, 114 U.S.App. D.C. 330 , 334, 316 F.2d 331 , 335 (1963) (emphasis supplied).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““We leave open the question whether the allegations made here would be sufficient. We note, however, that they do not take account of the fact that the appellant had been in the custody of the Juvenile Court on probation for two years preceding his arrest on September 5, 1961, during which reports from social workers and probation officers must have been received and significant and highly material facts must have been developed. Cf. United States v. Anonymous, 176 F.Supp. 325 , 326 (D.D.C.1959), approving as sufficient the investigation conducted where the boy involved had ‘no past criminal or juvenile record of any sort.’ * * * ””
