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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Because the prior incidents were relevant to the critical issue of Marshall’s willfulness in failing to appear in the instant case, they were properly considered as evidence of his contumacious intent. Compare Sykes, [supra], (attorney’s failure to appear was “an isolated aberration”; contempt conviction reversed), with In re Ni-black, [supra ], (attorney’s failure to appear “was not an isolated aberration but ‘had happened many times in the past’ contempt conviction affirmed).”
