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 72 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘[Wjhere the facts in connection with the charge are clearly set out in the complaint a respondent is put on notice as to what ethical violations may arise therefrom. It is not required that the complaint contain a reference to the specific canon of ethics which may have been violated.’ ” State v. Turner, 217 Kan. 574, 579-580 , 538 P.2d 966 (1975).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Caenen · State v. Regier““. . . A proceeding in discipline is not an action within the purview of K. S. A. 60-104 providing that trials be conducted in open court. In the early case of In re Burnette, 73 Kan. 609 , 85 Pac. 575 , we said that the remedy of disbarment was not an action, either criminal or civil, but a special proceeding for the protection of the courts, the legal profession and the administration of justice. An attorney at law is an officer of the court and as such is a part of the judicial system of the state. (State, ex rel., v. Perkins, 138 Kan. 899, 903 , 28 P. 2d 765 .) Thus, a proceeding to discipline an attorney is not held to punish him but is conducted under the inherent power of the court to provide for the protection of the judicial system and the administration of justice. (In re Gorsuch, 113 Kan. 380, 384, 385 , 214 Pac. 794 .) “In State ex rel. Oklahoma Bar Association v. Brandon, 450 P. 2d 824, 828 , (Old.) the Oklahoma court stated: “ ‘. . . This court has consistently held that disbarment proceedings are inquiries for the protection of the courts, the public and the profession, and that strict rules of procedure should be relaxed to the end that an attorney’s fitness to continue in the profession should be determined on the legal and ethical merits.’ ” (p. 581.)”
