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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Crawford claims that his trial counsel ... was ineffective because he did not establish a ‘relationship of trust’ with his client. Crawford cites no authority for the proposition that a criminal defendant is entitled to a ‘meaningful’ relationship with counsel or that the denial of such a relationship amounts to ineffective assistance of counsel. Further, in Morris v. Slappy, the Supreme Court explicitly ‘reject[ed] the claim that the Sixth Amendment guarantees a “meaningful relationship” between an accused and his counsel.’ 461 U.S. 1, 14 , 103 S.Ct. 1610 , 75 L.Ed.2d 610 (1983).””
