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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the claimant has nonexertional impairments, the ALJ must determine whether those impairments 'significantly' diminish the claimant's work capacity beyond that caused by his or her exertional limitations.... [and if so], then the use of the Grids may be an inappropriate method of determining a claimant's residual functional capacity and the ALJ may be required to consult a vocational expert.”
