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 74 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In 1972, we affirmed a district court’s finding that the BPD discriminated against black applicants through the use of entry-level testing procedures that favored whites.... [T]hat discrimination resulted in a gross racial disparity among the BPD’s ranks.... [Nineteen years later we found] ... that racial discrimination in entry-level hiring had adversely affected blacks’ representation at the rank of sergeant. “Remedial action takes time,” we reasoned, “and discrimination may linger for many years in an organization that had excluded blacks from its ranks.””
