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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The relief ordered by the commission was appropriate for remedying discrimi nation against two or more applicants for a single job. Together with Webb, Pollard had been denied a statutory right to compete for the promotion free of discrimination. The commission’s remedy afforded Pollard full redress for the wrong he had suffered. It provided him the right to compete without discrimination for a retroactive promotion and back pay. Thus, the commission’s remedy effectuated the “make whole” purpose of. Title VII. See Albemarle Paper Company, 422 U.S. at 418 , 95 S.Ct. at 2372 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Pollard . . . did not . . . prove that the agency discriminated against him when it [decided] . . . that Webb was better qualified. Pollard was refused promotion, in the words of the statute, for a 'reason other than discrimination.' The absence of discrimination when the agency weighed the qualifications of the two applicants bars relief.”
