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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[E]mployees of governmental entities shall be absolutely immune from personal civil liability for .... [a]ny intentional act or omission within the course and scope of employment; provided that such immunity shall not exist in any case in which an employee’s actions are found to have been in bad faith.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“The proviso contained in subparagraph E that excludes actions in bad faith is limited to that subparagraph’s broad grant of immunity for “any intentional act or omission within the course and scope of employment.” The immunity granted in the more limited circumstances described in subpar-agraphs A through D is absolute and not qualified by the bad faith proviso in sub-paragraph E.”
