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 82 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the case of injury of an economic nature the injured party is to be placed as near as possible in the situation he would have been in had the wrong not occurred. Thus damages for the relevant period are to be determined by measuring the difference between plaintiffs actual earnings for the period and those which he would have earned absent the discrimination of defendants.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“First, plaintiff has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence a prima facie case of discrimination. Second, if the plaintiff succeeds in proving the prima facie case, the burden shifts to the defendant “to articulate some legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the employee’s rejection.” ... Third, should the defendant carry this burden, the plaintiff must then have an opportunity to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the legitimate reasons offered by the defendant were not its true reasons, but were a pretext for discrimination.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In the public bidding situation, the fact that a qualified minority firm's bid was not rejected would not in our view support an inference that it was more likely than not that the employer’s decision was based on discriminatory criterion. If the minority firm's bid is no more qualified than the accepted bid, and offers no price or other significant advantages to the employer, then the employer’s decision to reject the minority bid would not create an inference of discrimination.”
