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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“uniformly held that an attorney relying upon a contract made with his client . . . must show that he made full disclosure to his client to obtain a decree of a court of equity sustaining the validity of the contract and enforcing it. ‘On the one hand it is not necessary to establish that there has been fraud or imposition upon the client; and, on the other hand, it is not necessarily void throughout, ipso facto. But the burden of establishing its perfect fairness, adequacy, and equity is upon the attorney. * * * If no such proof is established, courts of equity treat the ease as one of constructive fraud.’”
