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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[i]f the claimant shows that because of [her] impairments [she] can no longer engage in [her] past occupation nor has experience or training for any other type of work, then [she] has met [her] burden. The Secretary must then show by substantial evidence what employment opportunities are available to a person with the limited capabilities of the claimant before the claim for disability benefits can properly be denied.” Silcox v. Richardson, 331 F.Supp. 460, 465 (W.D. Va. 1971); see also Seitz v. Secretary of Social Security Administration, 317 F.2d 743, 744 (9th Cir. 1963).”
