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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

With regard to a pending or impending proceeding, a judge shall not initiate, permit, or consider ex parte communications with attorneys [or] ... with parties.”
