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 55 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[f]or property to be exempt under state or local law, it must be claimed in the manner prescribed by those laws.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“For property to be exempt under state or local law, it must be claimed as exempt in the manner prescribed by those laws. Thus, the exemption conferred by [§ 522(b)(2)] presupposes compliance with the pertinent state and local laws.... By filing the list of claimed exemptions pursuant to § 522(1), the debtor asserts his belief that he is entitled to exempt that property. Whether that belief is correct will be determined through application of § 522(b)(2)(A) and the state or local exemptions incorporated therein. Therefore, the § 522(£) fifing is not a substitute for compliance with the state or local law.”
