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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"In the past, most motions to disqualify were analyzed under a test derived from Canon 9 of the American Bar Association's Model Code of Professional Responsibility, and a similar, if not identical, provision of Alabama's Code of Professional Responsibility. See Norton v. Tallahassee Mem'l Hosp., 689 F.2d 938 , 941 (11th Cir.1982); United States v. Hobson, 672 F.2d 825, 828 (11th Cir.1982). This approach drew on the language of Canon 9, which provided that `A lawyer should avoid even the appearance of impropriety.' Norton, 689 F.2d at 941. To persuade the court that it should disqualify an attorney under this standard, the moving party had to show (1) a reasonable possibility that some specifically identifiable impropriety did in fact occur, although there need not be proof of actual wrongdoing, and (2) a likelihood of public suspicion or obloquy that outweighs the social interests which will be served by a lawyer's continued participation in a particular case. Hobson, 672 F.2d at 828 . The continued viability of this method of analysis is questionable, however, because the American Bar Association's Model Code was replaced with its Model Rules of Professional Conduct in August 1983, and Alabama's Code was replaced by its Rules of Professional Conduct on January 1, 1991, and neither of these new sets of rules contains language like that of Canon 9."”
