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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

If an individual is unmarried or still living with his or her parents, he or she may not have a registration booklet but may be included on the head of household's registration. A.R. 110. 4 . The BIA also affirmed the IJ’s determination that Zhang failed to establish a well-founded fear of future persecution. Because we find the reasons supporting the credibility determination insufficient, we need not address the issue of well-founded fear. 5 . While we make no determination regarding Zhang's credibility, we emphasize the need for the IJ to fully consider the record. Zhang has submitted official documentation from the hospital that confirms the abortion. Zhang also presented an official government report which contains evidence that forced abortions were in effect during the time period Zhang claims to have been forced to undergo an abortion. The report also includes testimony that involuntary abortions occurred as late as 1998. As we have stated before, "petitioners cannot be expected to get substantial documentation from their persecutors.”
