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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"When defendant's counsel undertook to withdraw from the case at the moment the cause was ordered to trial the court below should have denied him the right to do so. If counsel insisted upon withdrawing or declined to participate in the trial in defense of his client’s rights, he being an officer of the court, the judge had ample authority to require him to proceed in good faith.” Barnhill, J. (later C.J.) in Roediger v. Sapos, supra at 99, 6 S.E. 2d at 803 , (quoted with approval in Perkins v. Sykes, supra at 153, 63 S.E. 2d at 138 ).”
