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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“by reason of his or her position, must frequently have almost as much information as to the confidential business of the client as the attorney himself; and it would be clearly against the rule to allow such an assistant to be subpoenaed and required to testify as to matters where the knowledge acquired was through the employment.... [Such employee is] neither competent nor compellable to testify, exactly as the attorney himself would be held incompetent and uncompellable to testify, [if] offered as a witness.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In Re Stoutamire“rule that communications between an attorney and client in the presence of third persons or of the adverse party are not within the prohibition [against testimony regarding the communication]. The rule is well recognized; and it has even been held that ignorance of the presence of the third person does not prevent the exception from operating. Thus it has been decided that an eavesdropper or a wiretapper is not incompetent to testify to the communications he overhears. [Cit.]”
