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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ . . . [T]he Pemberton case is not controlling: there the employee was transferred under circumstances that did not amount to a demotion; here each of the three employees was transferred to a position of lesser responsibility and suffered a reduction in compensation. Each was demoted.” 484 S.W.2d at 360 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The Teachers’ Tenure Act provides a means by which teachers, as therein defined, of the public schools of the State acquire tenure. It affords protection to those who acquire tenure but none to those plaintiffs in this case who have not acquired it. In Shannon v. Board of Education, 199 Tenn. 250 , 286 S.W.2d 571 (1956), the Court said: “Where a teacher has not acquired tenure status his right to a judicial review of any action of the Board in not reemploying him is not authorized by law. He is not entitled to reelection as a matter of right beyond a contract period.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The Chancellor properly ordered that each be restored to his former position and that he be compensated for the financial loss suffered until such time as he should be so restored. Each was entitled to notice and to written charges justifying his dismissal or demotion. Sections 49-1414 and 49-1415, T.C.A. Each was entitled to an opportunity to be heard by the Board. Section 49-1416, T.C.A.” 484 S.W.2d at 358 .”
