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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he present case does not bear any factual resemblance to Garrity [v. State of New Jersey, 385 U.S. 493 , 87 S.Ct. 616 , 17 L.Ed.2d 562 (1967) ] ... because Lang’s permanent teacher status could not be terminated on the ground that he did not testify at his termination hearing. Rather, in this case, the Board was required to have competent and substantial evidence presented to prove the charges against him upon which to base a termination of Lang’s teacher status.”
