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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[the client] does not deny that [the attorney] represented him generally in the transaction. In such a case, the attorney acts as the agent of the client under the general rules of agency .... Under the facts of this case, the client is bound by the acts or omissions of the attorney within the scope of the attorney’s authority, express, implied or apparent, in the accomplishment of the purpose for which he was retained.”
