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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The problem with [the] defendant’s argument here is that it confuses the role of the client with that of the lawyer. We have recognized the authority of a lawyer to act for a client and to control the procedural aspects of his client’s case without his client’s express consent. While the lawyer can control procedural matters, the client has control over the subject matter of litigation. Thus, it is the client, and not the lawyer, that must decide whether to settle and on what terms. In a criminal case, it is for the client to decide what plea should be entered.”
