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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Quintanas contend that Defendants owed them a special duty because Bing-ham drew up their wills and represented them in business matters apart from his representation of Delta. It is true that as their personal lawyers, Defendants owed the Quintanas various duties. But the Quintanas allege no harm suffered by them as a result of a breach of those duties. In representing Delta, Defen dants did not owe the Quintanas, as shareholders, any special duty above and beyond their duties to the corporation. This is so even though the Quinta-nas were the sole shareholders of Delta and Defendants knew that the Quinta-nas’ livelihood depended on Delta’s success. Our Supreme Court rejected similar claims in Marchman .”
