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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The right to effective assistance of counsel presupposes that counsel will be competent and capable of conducting a genuine defense on behalf of the accused. While the law does not guarantee the assistance of the most brilliant and experienced counsel, it does require honest, loyal, genuine and faithful representation on the part of counsel, be he retained or appointed. (Johnson v. State, 203 Kan. 947 , 457 P.2d 181 ; State v. Wright, 203 Kan. 54 , 453 P.2d 1 .) On the other hand, where an attorney is so incompetent or so dishonest or so improperly conducts his client’s case as to amount, in practical effect, to no representation at all, the defendant is deprived of a fair trial and is entitled to relief. . . .” (p. 432.)”
