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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]hen actual damages are not present, the victims of due process violations are still entitled to nominal recovery. See Hughes v. Rowe, 449 U.S. 5 , 101 S.Ct. 173 , 66 L.Ed.2d 163 (1980); McKenna v. Peekskill Housing Authority, 647 F.2d 332 (2d Cir.1981); Morrow v. Igleburger, 584 F.2d 767 (6th Cir.1978), cert. denied, 439 U.S. 1118 , 99 S.Ct. 1027 , 59 L.Ed.2d 78 (1979). Thus, under Carrey, [Carrey v. Piphus, 435 U.S. 247 , 98 S.Ct. 1042 , 55 L.Ed.2d 252 (1978)], the individual claimants in this case are entitled to nominal recovery even if the [defendants] demonstrate, during the remedial phase of this litigation, that the claimants suffered no actual damages.”
