Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We have recognized before the futility of considering claims about counsel’s behavior that have not been examined by the trial court. State v. Slapnicka, 376 N.W.2d 33, 36 (N.D.1985). Without a record scrutinizing the reasons underlying counsel’s conduct, adjudging it sub-par is virtually impossible.””
