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

1. “the board and superintendent share ... vicarious responsibility for any unlawful purpose of the subordinate.”

   2 later decisions quote this exact passage
   e.g. 384 So. 2d 661 - Hollis v. School Bd. of Leon County · 456 So. 2d 1219 - LeDew v. Unemployment Appeals Com'n

2. “`Unless it is shown' is the heart of Section 413.08(3). The Legislature might have omitted `unless it is shown' from the bill and still have produced a conventionally understandable law. No employer shall refuse employment to the blind unless blindness prevents satisfactory performance of the work involved. Such a law would presumably be understood as permitting the plausibly rational but untested opinions of public employers, having discretion, to prevail in effortless litigation against opinions of the untested blind. But the Legislature did not omit `unless it is shown,' and we ungrudgingly give those words their natural effect.”

3. “Where ... the board and superintendent have effectively delegated recommending power to a subordinate, ..., and that subordinate is shown to have exercised de facto power to employ, the board and superintendent share, for the purposes of an action such as this, vicarious liability for any unlawful purpose of the subordinate.”
