Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 65 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

e.g. State v. PHOENIX UNION HIGH SCHOOL · 665 F. Supp. 2d 797 - Block-Victor v. CITG Promotions, L.L.C.
