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

1. ““I finalized the report on [the victim], a few corrections have to be made, which my secretary will do early this morning. My problem is I cannot find the original charts on this case, to check if everything else is okay. The last I heal'd the file was with [an attorney], and she locked it in her office and has been away on Thursday and Friday. “There are some very bizarre events going on in the office with weird accusations being leveled against me. So when you arrange with [the attorney] to hand over the file to me, please insist that a witness be present in the room to prevent weird charges of having urinated on the chart or farted while working on the chart being leveled against me by the head honcho who runs this agency.””
