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.
“"The legislature is without any authority to directly or indirectly interfere with or impair an attorney's exercise of his ethical duties as an attorney and officer of the court. An attorney cannot be put `in the untenable position of choice between a violation of a statute or violation of a specific Canon [of Ethics] insofar as they clearly conflict.' Times Publishing Co. v. Williams, 222 So.2d 470 (Fla. 2d DCA 1969) (emphasis in original)."”
