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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“a civil action under the IDEA challenging an administrative hearing officer's decision after a due process hearing is more analogous to judicial review of an administrative appeal than to an action upon a liability created by statute.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[a]ny party aggrieved by the findings and decision [of the state agency] ... shall have the right to bring a civil action . . . in a district court of the United States.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Accordingly, differences in the standard of review are relatively minor given the district court’s quasi-appellate role under section 1415(e)(2). Similarly, the IDEA’S requirement that the trial court accept additional evidence at the request of a party does not significantly distinguish the nature of the proceeding from appellate review of administrative actions, because in both cases the administrative record is usually the principal evidence before the reviewing court. By contrast, in an action upon a liability created by statute, there is no review of an administrative decision and no deference to administrative findings. The district court’s decision is entirely independent.”
