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

3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section [which sets forth what a charge “should contain”] 3 , a charge is sufficient when the Commission receives from the person making the charge a written statement sufficiently precise to identify the parties, and to describe generally the action or practices complained of. A charge may be amended to cure technical defects or omissions, including failure to verify the charge or to clarify and amplify allegations made therein. Such amendments ... will relate back to the date the charge was first received. (Emphasis added.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“1. Bank engaged in a continuous course of discrimination against Brudne. That continuity postponed the commencement of the limitations time clock. 2. Bank’s misrepresentations to Brudne as to the reasons for her discharge should toll the limitations period. 3. Bank’s failure to post a notice informing its employees of their rights under ADEA and Title VII equitably tolled the limitations period.”
