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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) The time which has fairly and properly to be used in dealing with the case; because this represents the amount of work necessary. (2) The quality of skill which the situation facing the attorney demanded. (3) The skill employed in meeting that situation. (4) The amount involved; because that determines the risk of the client and the commensurate responsibility of the lawyer. (5) The result of the case, because that determines the real benefit to the client. (6) The eminence of the lawyer at the bar, or in the specialty in which he may be practicing. Each case, of course, differs to some extent from every other case in respect of the importance of these several elements.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Without deciding whether the (bankrupts) trustees could or could not have reasonably delayed reclamation (of property by conditional vendors), the cooperation of the (conditional vendors) attorney with the (bankrupts) trustees brought the estate valuable assets in cash. Thus, the estate was enriched by the action of the (attorney) and justice calls for a proper reward in light of the circumstances. Bankruptcy courts are ‘essentially courts of equity, and their proceedings inherently proceedings in equity.’ (cites).””
