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.
“[plaintiffs here and members of their class [arrestees] are generally likely to fall within the group described by the Fuentes [C]ourt as “uneducated, uninformed consumers] with little access to legal help and little familiarity with legal procedures.” 407 U.S. at 83 n. 13, 92 S.Ct. at 1995 n. 13. Nothing in the Court of Appeals’ opinion leads us to believe that the [c]ourt intended to impose the burden of initiating litigation on persons with such practical disabilities; to say nothing of the added obstacle which apprehension of suing the City or police officials might constitute to people so situated.”
