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 65 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“at the heart of every claim that an employer has infringed an employee’s liberty of occupation, is a charge that the “circumstances of that discharge, at least if they were publically stated, had the effect of blacklisting the employee from employment in comparable jobs.” In such cases, the employee’s good name, reputation, honor or integrity must be called into question in a manner that makes it virtually impossible for the employee to find new employment in his chosen field.”
