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.

Nor is the test even what most good lawyers would have done. We ask only whether some reasonable lawyer at the trial could have acted, in the circumstances, as defense counsel acted.” Jefferson v. Zant, 263 Ga. 316, 318 (3) (a) ( 431 SE2d 110 ) (1993).”
