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

1. ““No person shall he admitted to practice as an attorney or counselor in this court, unless he shall have been previously admitted in the supreme court of the United States, or the supreme court of this state, or the highest court of a sister state, or of an organized territory of the United States. Satisfactory evidence of good moral character will be required. The applicant, upon his admission, shall sign the roll of attorneys and counselors, and take and subscribe the following oath, to wit: T solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the constitution of the United States; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the government of the United States; that I will maintain the respect due to the courts of justice and judicial officers; and that I will demean myself as an attorney and counselor of this court uprightly.’ ””
