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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"While it is true that the canons of ethics, both those governing the conduct of lawyers and of judges, set up standards which should be faithfully observed by those to whom they are applicable they do not amount to rules of conduct for which a lawyer or a judge may be punished as for a misdemeanor or a crime. A violation of the canons may or may not involve moral turpitude, depending on the circumstances."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““In our society moral standards are derived in large part from Christian teaching and are reflected more or less accurately in what is termed ‘public opinion,’ which is the consensual judgment of the general public .... “ ‘Moral turpitude is an act of baseness, vileness or depravity in the private and social duties which a man owes to his fellow men, or to society in general, contrary to the accepted and customary rule of right and duty between man and man.’ [citation omitted] “ ‘. . . moral turpitude is anything done contrary to justice, honesty, principle or good morals . . . .’ [citation omitted].” Id. at 248-50.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“It may have been argued that sec. 10, art. VII, Const. applied only to state offices of public trust. The subsequent language of the section that all votes cast for circuit judges by the legislature or the people makes perfectly clear that the office of United States senator was included.”
