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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “[S]ueh relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might'accept .as adequate to support a conclusion. .. . Hence, appellate review must focus on whether there is rational support in the record, when reviewed as a whole, for the agency action. . . . Review of the findings of fact is limited to the question of whether the lower court’s findings are adequately supported by the evidence as a whole; credibility is solely an issue for .the finder of fact; and findings of fact will be overturned only if they are .arbitrary and capricious. ... an appellate court, in order to reverse, must conclude that the findings of the agency are totally without support in the record. (Emphasis in original.) (¡Citations omitted.)”
