[Part 38:108:1866; B § 2636; BH § 1673; C § 1819; RL § 2802; NCL § 4802] + [Part 48:108:1866; B § 2646; BH § 1683; C § 1829; RL § 2812; NCL § 4812]
Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
