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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the district court had ... previously observed that a neighborhood schools policy "superimposed over already existing residential segregation ... leads inexorably to continued' school segregation,” 244 F.Supp. at 976, the district court here did not clearly err in finding that this observation related to the court’s rejection of the neighborhood schools policy as a remedy for de jure segregation, not to its explanation of the causes of residential segregation.”
