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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A showing that a substantial disparity exists between the proportion of presumptively qualified Negroes in the general population and their proportion on juries will establish a prima facie case of racial discrimination, if the disparity is coupled either with additional positive indicia of discrimination or with a showing that the selection procedure provides an ‘opportunity for discrimination’. Whitus v. Georgia, 385 U.S. [545] at 552, 87 S.Ct. 643 [ 17 L.Ed.2d 599 ]; Witcher v. Peyton, [ 382 F.2d 707 ].””
