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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(I) A physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one (1) or more of such person’s major life activities; or (ii) A record of having such an impairment; or (in) Being regarded as having such an impairment.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“An impairment must limit a person's general employability in order to substantially limit a major life activity. While 'working' is a major life activity, working at the specific job of one's choice is not.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“need not, and indeed should not, consider whether the plaintiff can actually do the work or consider whether the employer's standards are bona fide occupational requirements.”
