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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Juvenile Court is a court of record and pursuant to Pa. R.A.P. 341[, Final Orders; Generally,] appeal may be taken as of right from any final order of an administrative agency or lower . . . court. The final Order of a Juvenile Court is the Dispositional Order as to the Delinquent Child, pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 6352[, Disposition of delinquent child].”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“The “collateral order doctrine” exists as an exception to the finality rule and permits immediate appeal as of right from an otherwise interlocutory order where an appellant demonstrates that the order appealed from meets the following elements: (1) it is separable from and collateral to the main cause of action; (2) the right involved is too important to be denied review; and (3) the question presented is such that if final review is postponed until final judgment in the case, the claimed- right will be irreparably lost.”
