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. ““In Court of Appeals—Additional Limitations. (1) Prior appellate decision. Unless otherwise provided by the order granting the writ of certiorari, in reviewing a decision rendered by the Court of Special Appeals or by a circuit court acting in an appellate capacity, the Court of Appeals ordinarily will consider only an issue that has been raised in the petition for certiorari or any cross-petition and that has been preserved for review by the Court of Appeals. Further, in her brief Ms. H. did argue, though in the context of the waiver of her rights, that she did not understand the proceedings: “As made evident by her plea that the court should “go ahead and do the trial,” (App.47), she was under the impression that proceeding by way of a contested hearing was still an option available to her. Indeed, absent any advisement to the contrary, she could not have known or understood that she had foreclosed that avenue.” In doing so, she implicitly argues that the trial court should have inquired as the meaning of her statements, as those statements may have indicated her desire to withdraw her consent to the mediation agreement.”
