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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] refusal to answer must be supplemented by a statement of the area or nature of the criminal exposure which is feared. Quite obviously a court cannot be asked to scan the myriad offenses under the laws of all of the states and of the United States in search of a possible connection between the question and one of them. That course would be but a guessing game in which the witness would become in effect the final judge of his claim of privilege. The area must be pinpointed to the extent to which it is possible to do so without eliciting a hurtful answer. In re Boiardo, 34 N.J. 599, 603 , 170 A.2d 816, 819 (1961).”
