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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Did the attorney’s performance fail to constitute “reasonably effective assistance,” ie., did the defense attorney’s representation fall below an objective standard of reasonableness under prevailing professional norms? 2. If so, was there a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s unprofessional errors, the result of the proceedings could have been different?”
