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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“At or after a disposition hearing, the judicial officer may dismiss a petition and terminate the proceedings relating to the respondent, if the judicial officer finds by clear and convincing evidence that the child is not in need of care or rehabilitation. The reason for such dismissal shall be set forth upon request of the Attorney General. A hearing on this issue may be held at the request of any party. If a motion to dismiss is made under this section, the opposing party shall have an opportunity to respond and, if necessary to preserve the rights of either party, the disposition hearing shall be continued for a hearing on the motion.”
