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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(c) The priorities in making a disposition are consistent with the purposes specified in § 3-802 of this subtitle. (d) (1) In making a disposition on a petition, the court may: (i) Place the child on probation or under supervision in his own home or in the custody or under the guardianship of a relative or other fit person, upon terms the court deems appropriate; (ii) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of this subsection, commit the child to the custody or under the guardianship of the Department of Juvenile Justice, a local department of social services, the Department of Mental Health and Hygiene, or a public or licensed private agency on terms that the court considers appropriate to meet the priorities set forth in § 3-802 of this subtitle, including designation of the type of facility where the child is to be accommodated, until custody or guardianship is terminated with approval by court or as required under § 3-825 of this subtitle.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Although the Board of Education is certainly a public agency, its functions do not include custody or guardianship of children.... If ... the order did not envision custody or guardianship, then it was beyond the power of the court ... because these are the only concerns that the juvenile court is authorized to address under [C.J. § 3-8A-19(d)(l)(ii)].”
