Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 60 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[I]n some cases the overall strength of the prima facie case in conjunction with evidence of pretext will be sufficient to permit a finding of intentional discrimination, while in other cases the prima facie in tandem with evidence of pretext will not be sufficient to permit a finding of intentional discrimination ____ Only where the evidence of plaintiffs prima facie case and the evidence of pretext are sufficient, considered together, to allow a reasonable fact-finder to conclude that the defendant has intentionally discriminated against the plaintiff is “no additional proof of discrimination ... required.” Whether or not a case requires evidence beyond a showing of pretext to support a finding of intentional discrimination is necessarily a fact-intensive determination and must be decided on a case-by-case basis.”
