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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Courts treat PCR differently than traditional civil cases. For example, PCR actions are the only type of case which this Court mandates appellate counsel must brief all arguable issues, despite counsel’s belief the appeal is frivolous. A lawyer knowingly filing a frivolous claim in any other civil case violates Rule 11, SCRCP. Additionally, a PCR applicant who is granted a hearing has a statutory right to be represented by a court-appointed attorney. This right does not generally exist for plaintiffs in civil cases.”
