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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(h) On a determination by the judge that alcohol or drug abuse may have contributed to the commission of the offense, ... the judge shall direct a supervision officer ... to conduct an evaluation to determine the appropriateness of, and a course of conduct necessary for, alcohol or drug rehabilitation for a defendant and to report that evaluation to the judge. The evaluation shall be made: [[Image here]] (2) after conviction and before sentencing, if the judge assesses punishment in the case.”
