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 60 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]here [is nothing] inherently repugnant to due process in requiring the doctor to choose between giving testimony at the disciplinary hearing, a course that may help criminal prosecutors, and keeping silent, a course that may lead to the loss of his license.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he disciplinary board would draw an adverse inference from his silence if he invoked his privilege against self-incrimination at the [disciplinary board’s] hearing. The threat of losing his license ... would force him to testify, ... and mak[e] statements that might be used against him in the criminal trial.”
