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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To be sure, most conflicts of interest seen in criminal litigation arise out of a lawyer’s dual representation of co-defendants, but the constitutional principle is not narrowly confined to instances of that type. . . . Competition between the client’s interests and counsel’s own interests . . corrupts the relationship when counsel’s duty to his client calls for a course of action which concern for himself suggests that he avoid.” [Footnotes omitted.]”
