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

1. ““Petitioner in its concurrence excepted to the findings of the Commissioner that the advancement of funds to his client was not a violation of the rules of ethics by an attorney. It now reiterates its position as set forth in its concurrence, that such conduct is in direct violation of this Court’s Committee’s formal promulgated Opinion No. 305. It is noted that this opinion was originally promulgated in June 1967.” Petitioner concludes in brief as follows: “Respondent has been proven guilty of such violation of the laws of this State relating to the professional conduct of attorneys as to indicate a question as to his moral fitness for the practice of law. “In view of this guilt, the petition suggests that the Respondent be suspended from the practice of law for a period of at least six (6) months commencing from the date of the Court’s decree. “Further, Respondent should be ordered to pay the costs of these proceedings including but not limited to the reporter fees for the Committee hearings of November 18 and December 4, 1970 and the Commissioner’s hearing of June 29, 1971. "Should the Court decree that the Respondent be suspended for any period of time from the practice of law, his reinstatement, in addition to the passage of such period of time, should be conditioned on his making reimbursement of the costs of these proceedings as set out above.””

Jacques, Jr., Respondent, be stricken from the Roll of Attorneys and his license to practice law in the State of Louisiana be cancelled for a period deemed appropriate by this Court.””
