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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Sjection 39.521(l)(d)8.b., Florida Statutes, expressly provides that when “no suitable relative is found and the child is placed with the department or a legal custodian” in the first instance, “neither the department nor the court is obligated to” later place the child with a relative “if it is in the child’s best interest to remain in the current placement.””
