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.
“Respondent has compiled a five year history with the disciplinary system. In the public censure case, Respondent engaged in neglect during the period 1981-1982. In the instant case Respondent’s neglect began in 1982 and continued until March 1985, when the Court ordered her removal as guardian of an estate. Her failure to respond to the legitimate inquiries of Bar Counsel occurred in 1985 and 1986. In view of Respondent’s conduct over a significant period of time — combined with her apparent failure to learn from past mistakes — a substantial period of suspension is warranted.”
