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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The only remedy under Title VII that [this plaintiff] could conceivably get in a case like this — since she was not fired, demoted, etc., and since damages cannot be awarded under Title VII — would be an order expunging the offending letter from [the employer’s] files and forbidding [the employer] ever to take any adverse action against him on the basis of the letter.”
