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.

“infringement of one’s liberty interest can be found only where the governmental agency has made or is likely to make the allegedly stigmatizing charges public “in any official or intentional manner, other than in connection with the defense of [related legal] action.” Kaprelian v. Texas Woman’s University, 5 Cir. 1975, 509 F.2d 133, at p. 139 (1975). Here there has been no allegation that the University has made public the reasons underlying its decision not to renew the plaintiff’s employment contract.”
