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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although such a circumstance [the lay-offs of regular full-time teachers who would have priority over claimant for future substitute teaching assignments] is relevant evidence with respect to the likelihood of continued employment it is not alone determinative. Substitute teaching is by its nature inherently indefinite depending as it does on the occurrence of unforeseen vacancies in the teaching faculty. All that can be said with certainty about the effect of the lay-offs is that the opportunity for substitute teaching for persons in claimant’s position may be diminished in the coming year. So long as the claimant desires and intends to continue substitute work and [the employer] expects to offer such work when it becomes available, the employment relationship of a substitute teacher remains viable. (Footnote omitted.)”
