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

Germane , 971 A.2d at 593 (quoting In re Richard A. , 946 A.2d 204 , 213 (R.I. 2008) ).”
