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

Custody — Release to proper party — Warrant for custody. — (a) A person taking a child into custody shall within a reasonable time: (1) Release the child to his parents, guardian or other custodian upon their promise to bring the child before the court when requested by the court unless his detention or shelter care is warranted or required under § 37-214, or (2) Bring the child before the court or deliver him to a detention or shelter care facility designated by the court or to a medical facility if the child is believed to suffer from a serious physical condition or illness which requires prompt treatment.
