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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[The attorney], it is true, represented two parties whose interests were conflicting. Mrs. Geary desired to get a comparatively large sum of money from Mohr, and Mohr desired to be relieved from her demands by paying her a comparatively small sum; but no confíicting duties were imposed on [the attorney]. His chief duty was to furnish a channel of communication between the parties. He disclosed to each party his relation to the other and acted with the consent of both. "We see no impropriety or inconsistency in his acting for both parties under the circumstances, nor any just ground for the refusal of [the client] to fulfill his promise to pay him for his services, and the judgment is affirmed.” West, 194 Ill.App. at 499-500 (emphasis added).”
