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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The Fourth Circuit cases dealing with the denial of counsel on appeal clearly show that once an indigent layman exhibits a desire to appeal, the State becomes duty bound to furnish him with the necessary tools to seek appellate review and that failure to do so is cognizable by Federal Habeas Corpus. See Magee v. Peyton 343 F.2d 433 , 4th Cir. 1965.””
