Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Judges no less than lawyers are chargeable for deviations from the codes governing their conduct, even though the application of the canons to particular circumstances may not be readily apparent.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[a] judge is only entitled to reasonable notice of the charges upon which he may be disciplined after the review council has determined what those charges are.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Public confidence in the judiciary is eroded by irresponsible or improper conduct by judges. . A judge must avoid all impropriety and appearance of impropriety. A judge must expect to be the subject of constant public scrutiny. A judge must therefore accept restrictions on the judge’s conduct that might be viewed as burdensome by the ordinary citizen and should do so freely and willingly. The prohibition against behaving with impropriety or the appearance of impro-' priety applies to both the professional and personal conduct of a judge.”
