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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Accordingly, an 'employer's explanation of its reasons must be clear and specific' in order to 'afford the employee a full and fair opportunity to demonstrate pretext.' Meiri v. Dacon , 759 F.2d 989 , 996-97 [2d Cir.] [cert. denied, 474 U.S. 829 , 106 S.Ct. 91 , 88 L.Ed.2d 74 (1985) ]. Where an employer's explanation, offered in clear and specific terms, 'is reasonably attributable to an honest even though partially subjective evaluation of ... qualifications, no inference of discrimination can be drawn.' Lieberman v. Gant , 630 F.2d 60 , 67 (2d Cir. 1980).”
