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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“No person shall be denied the right to observe the deliberations of public bodies and examine public documents, except in cases established by law.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Every person shall be secure in his persons, property, communications, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches, seizures or evasion of privacy."”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“... the evaluation report is very personal and directly affects the employee. To publish or disclose such personal opinions may embarrass or humiliate the employee among his fellow employees, friends or family. It may affect his future employment. Humiliation or embarrassment could flow even though the rating would be "outstanding" as this rating may create envy or jealousy in other employees.”
