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. “Not even the statutory language can be fine-tuned enough to distinguish between the varying needs and circumstances of each of the patients. No matter how varied the community resources are, or how extensive the state support of the community release programs, there will likely always be students whose care requires a judgmental evaluation as to the suitability of available resources. We agree that the state cannot fulfill the stated statutory purposes by limiting the available dispositions to either total discharge or retention at Brandon.”

2. “This first review of the students is the initial step in determining which of the student population should not be confined to Brandon Training School under the law. This particular screening will, of course, result in the largest number of students suitable for discharge. It is more probable than not that the procedures for review may operate more speedily than the more involved placement process. Yet, at the same time eligibility must be recognized and provided for. Once the student population has all been reviewed and disposition made, the pattern of review and release will have a smaller and more predictable dimension.”

3. “If, upon completion of the hearing and consideration of the record, the court finds at the time of the hearing that the person admitted satisfies the criteria for initial admission to the training school, his continued admission to the training school is in accordance with the law, and he is receiving care, treatment, education, habilitation and remedial care which is appropriate and which does not appear upon reasonable inquiry to be available to him in a less restrictive environment, then the court shall order that the person's admission shall continue.”
