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 54 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]t is well-settled that ignorance of the law alone is not sufficient to warrant equitable tolling.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“Rose has presented no evidence to suggest that he was prevented from investigating his rights within the statutory period____ [H]e was not later made aware of any new facts which he was not previously aware of with regard to his firing. Basically, Rose’s arguments boil down to the fact that he did not know about his statutory rights until he saw an attorney after the expiration of the limitations period. Absent a showing that he was somehow deterred from seeking legal advice by his employer, this is simply not enough to warrant equitable tolling.”
