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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In cases where parental rights have been terminated, our scope of review is limited. We review the chancellor’s factual findings under the manifest error/substantial credible evidence test. This Court will not overturn a chancellor’s findings of fact when supported by substantial evidence unless an erroneous legal standard is applied or is manifestly wrong. Under this standard, the court asks not how we would have decided the case ab initio but whether there [is] credible proof to support the chancellor’s findings of fact by clear and convincing evidence.”
