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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In general, one is deemed to be practicing law whenever he [or she] furnishes to another advice or service under circumstances which imply the possession and use of legal knowledge and skill. The practice of law includes ‘all advice to clients, and all actions taken for them in matters connected with the law.’’’[citations omitted] Practice of law includes the giving of legal advice and counsel, and the preparation of legal instruments and contracts of which legal rights are secured, [citation omitted] Where the rendering of services for another involves the use of legal knowledge or skill on his [or her] behalf — where legal advice is required and is availed of or rendered in connection with such services — these sendees necessarily constitute or include the practice of law.”
