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.
““It is the commission of crime that forfeits an attorney’s privilege and license to engage in the practice of law. The conviction is a judicial determination of that fact and it is conclusive notwithstanding a pardon, the restoration of citizenship or the repeal of a statute dealing with the subject. * * * * * * * * * “ * * * Upon conviction, an attorney has had his day in court. The matter of his guilt or innocence and his consequent fitness or unfitness to hold himself out as an attorney at law is final and cannpt again be tried in disbarment proceedings.””
