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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“LA. REV. STAT. § 23:967 protects employees who disclose or threaten to disclose an act or practice at their place of employment that violates of [.sic ] state law. To state a claim under LA. REV. STAT. § 23:967, a plaintiff must allege the violation of state law. Nowhere in his amended complaint does [the plaintiff] indicate which state law, if any, was violated by [the defendant] and therefore he fails to state a claim under La. Rev.Stat. § 23:967. The district court correctly granted summary judgment in favor of [the defendant] on this claim.”
