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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]hat the post-dissolution work on the Groton matter was performed by Schlichtmann does not alter Cadle’s rights as a secured creditor. Partners cannot eliminate a security interest in the partnership’s anticipated fees by transferring (without the creditor’s written consent) the client files, whether by dissolution of the partnership or otherwise.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In Re Schlichtmann“in this instance, the firm, through Schlichtmann, gave the bank an unqualified security interest in a specific fund ( i.e. , the attorneys' fee share of the settlement) ... which was paid into [an escrow] account well before Schlichtmann declared bankruptcy.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Nothing in the commitment by Schlichtmann suggested, so far as the bank was concerned, that the fees or the security interest were contingent on the performance of substantial further legal services from the firm or from Schlichtmann.”
