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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]n dealing with statutory commands, including time provisions, courts often speak in terms of whether they are “mandatory” or merely “directory.” The suggestion implicit from such an analysis is that, if the command is “mandatory,” some fairly drastic sanction must be imposed upon a finding of noncompliance, whereas if the command is “directory,” noncompliance will result in some lesser penalty, or perhaps no penalty at all. That, indeed, is really the issue.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Walzer v. Osborne · State v. Green““When a rule, by the word “shall" or otherwise, mandates or prohibits conduct, the consequences of noncompliance are those prescribed by these rules or by statute. If no consequences are prescribed, the court may compel compliance with the rule or may determine the consequences of the noncompliance in light of the totality of the circumstances and the purpose of the rule.””
