3 canonical passages across 3 cases, quoted by 67 opinions in total. These passages cluster together because the same opinions keep quoting them side by side: they state parts of one doctrine. The anchor passage is from Chappell v. Rich.
| # | Case | Flag | Canonical passage | Citers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chappell v. Rich Anchor | green | “access to the courts is clearly a constitutional right, grounded in the first amendment, the article iv privileges and immunities clause, the fifth amendment, and/or the fourteenth amendment.” | 32 |
| 2 | Coleman Jackson v. State Board of Pardons and Paroles, Dept. of Offender Rehabilitation of the State of Georgia | green | “to have standing to seek relief under this right, however, a plaintiff must show actual injury by 'demonstrating that a nonfrivolous legal claim has been frustrated or . . . impeded.” | 20 |
| 3 | Cunningham v. District Attorney's Office for Escambia County | green | “the injury requirement means that the plaintiff must have an underlying cause of action the vindication of which is prevented by the denial of access to the courts.” | 15 |
A red or yellow flag on a member means the underlying case has negative treatment: for those, check the case page before relying on the passage.
