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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Juvenile law is a hybrid of civil and criminal law. State v. Smith, 492 So.2d 1272 (La.App. 4th Cir.1986). The juvenile court operates differently from the criminal court’s procedure as its primary aim is to effectuate whatever action which would be in the “best interest” of the child or children involved. In furtherance of this objective, the court is given greater leeway to accomplish its goals.”
