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

1. “[S]ince the inception of federally funded legal service, parties to lawsuits in which the opponent is represented by a legal services program have, from time to time, sought to avoid resolution of the issues in the suit by challenging the authority of the legal services program to provide representation in the particular case or to the particular client. Courts that have been asked to rule upon such questions have been uniform in holding that such issues should not be raised in that forum. The courts have said that such issues should be taken up with the agency providing funding. [42 U.S.C. § 2996e(b)(lXB)] is thus declaratory of existing law as it has been announced by the courts. The Committee believes that repetitive litigation of this issue is a needless drain on federal funds provided for the representation of poor people, and the section has been added to discourage further frivolous litigation of the issue.”

2. “The House bill and the Senate amendment each prohibits challenges to the authority of legal services programs to provide representation in a particular case or to a particular client during a proceeding. In addition, the Senate amendment, but not the House bill, requires that such issues shall be referred to the Corporation for review and disposition and clarifies that the party challenging the authority of the local legal services program to represent a client is not precluded from seeking judicial review of the Corporation’s decision. The conference substitute provides that no question of whether representation is authorized under this title, or the rules, regulations or guidelines promulgated pursuant to this title, shall be considered in, or affect the final disposition of, any proceeding in which a person is represented by a recipient or any employee of a recipient; that a litigant in such a proceeding may refer any such question to the Corporation which shall review and dispose of the question promptly, and take appropriate action; and that judicial review of the Corporation’s action or inaction is not precluded where available under applicable law.”

3. “No act of a corporation and no conveyance or transfer of real or personal property to or by a corporation shall be invalid by reason of the fact that the corporation was without capacity or power to do such act or to make or receive such conveyance or transfer, but such lack of capacity or power may be asserted: (1) In a proceeding by a stockholder against the corporation....; (2) In a proceeding by the corporation, whether acting directly or through a receiver, trustee or other legal representative, or through stockholders in a representative suit, against an incumbent or former officer or director of the corporation, for loss or damage due to such incumbent or former officer’s or director’s unauthorized act; (3) In a proceeding by the Attorney General to dissolve the corporation, or to enjoin the corporation from the transaction of unauthorized business.”
