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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`[C]onduct which dissolves the essential mutual confidence between attorney and client' signifies the end of the [attorney-client] relationship.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage“continuous legal representation " in a "particular identifiable transaction " was never joined, considered, or decided by the Brown opinion. 35 Secondly, even though the cardinal issue in the instant case was not joined or considered in Brown, I take no exception with its non-dispositive general observations that "the attorney-client relationship is consensual in nature and the actions of either party can affect its continuance,”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“reasonable minds can come to but one conclusion and that conclusion is adverse to the party against whom the motion for summary judgment is made, such party being entitled to have the evidence or stipulation construed most strongly in his favor.”
