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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “It provides, in conjunction with [a] Department of Corrections Policy Directive ..., that all general population prisoners shall be entitled to use the main law library at each correctional facility for a[t] least six hours each week. It also requires Defendants to provide paralegal training “until such time as a sufficient pool of trained legal assistants is developed.” Finally, the Defendants are required to establish a method to determine when a sufficient pool of inmate paralegals exists to meet the needs of the prisoner population.”

2. “Moreover, Plaintiffs clearly have standing to challenge Defendants’ violations of this Court’s remedial orders. Civil contempt proceedings are a supplemental part of the original action from which they stem.... The remedial orders, which were proposed by Defendants as the manner by which they wanted to provide equal protection and access, were entered as relief for the entire Plaintiff class. Therefore, any member of the class has standing to challenge a violation of these orders in a contempt proceeding.”
