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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“That an attorney would attempt to avoid the strictures of Rule 11 and our professional Code of Ethics by either extracting a promise from a client or a relative of the client to absorb the consequences of an improper filing, or agreeing to do so even at the unsolicited suggestion of such client or relative, when, as here, the attorney knows or should have reason to know that such filing violates Rule 11 or is otherwise improper, offends deeply and should not be countenanced. Thus, any order or judgment to be entered herein should specifically declare such indemnification agreement illegal and violative of the spirit, intent and purposes of Rule 11, Fed.R.Civ. P., and that such agreement should not be enforced in any respect, whatsoever.”
