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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As 42 U.S.C. § 406 sets forth, an attorney is entitled only to a reasonable fee as determined by the Secretary. Any fee contract with a Social Security claimant is conditioned on these statutory requirements. This statutory provision, which ought to be known by those accepting disability cases, and which furthers a congressional purpose in avoiding the undue depletion of a claimant’s benefits, does not constitute an unconstitutional appropriation of plaintiff’s property. Id. at 98-99 .”
