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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) A parolee may be arrested and detained on a Board warrant pending disposition of criminal charges upon the occurrence of one of the following: (i) A committing magistrate has conducted a preliminary hearing and concluded that there is a prima facie case against the parolee. (iv) A member of the Board or an Examiner designated by the Board conducts an inde pendent hearing, which shall be termed a “Detention Hearing,” to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that the parolee has violated the' conditions of his parole and whether he should be detained pending disposition of the criminal charges. (Emphasis added.)”
