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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is customary to expect one’s counsel to aggressively assert one’s rights in preference to those of another party. However, where an attorney discloses a conflict he does so to let his client know that this may not be a realistic expectation under the circumstances because the attorney may lose his objectivity without intending to do so and without even realizing it.... Therefore, a disclosure of a Isconflict is a warning that the attorney may not pursue his client’s interests with the singleness of purpose normally expected.... A wavier by the client of objection to a conflict is not a waiver of that client’s right to complain about the intentional infliction of harm by the attorney or the “obvious negligence” of the attorney to prevent such harm.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The defendants complain that the trial judge transformed an ethical issue into a legal duty. But on the next page of their brief defendants argue that the Louisiana State Bar Association’s Rules of Professional Conduct “have the force and effect of substantive law.” We agree. Thus, the ethical issue was transformed into a legal duty.”
