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.
“The district court dismissed Ellis’s complaint under Rule 12b(l) & (6) after “examining the Tennessee Code, relevant case law, and the persuasive Attorney General opinions,” [and] the district court concluded that Ellis was an employee of the State of Tennessee rather than Bradley County. Ellis’s salary, life and health insurance, and retirement benefits were paid by Bradley County, the minimum amount of his salary was determined by state law. See Tenn. Code Ann. § 2-12-208 . The statutes provide that a portion of an administrator’s salary will be paid by the state if the administrator passes “a written examination on election laws” and, consequently becomes certified by the state election commission, which apparently Ellis was. TenmCode Ann. §§ 2 — 11— 202(b), 2-12-209.”
