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.
“We attach no significance to the omission of the word “treatment” in the mandate to the Department of Correction (Correction Law, § 400, subd. 1) to maintain hospitals for the mentally ill “solely for the purpose of holding in custody and caring for such mentally ill persons” (Emphasis added). In our opinion, the word “care” as used therein includes and imports the “treatment” of such persons.”
