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.

1. “Respondent consistently and deliberately failed to deposit the monies received in her district justice office into the appropriate district justice bank account at the end of every day, as she was required to do ...,” supra, at 657, and it is implicit in our holding that Respondent’s conduct was a violation of Canon 5A and was such that brought the judicial office into disrepute. 2. Our conclusion that the Respondent’s conduct does not constitute "neglect or failure to perform the duties of office” is based on the view that this constitutional clause was directed at negligent conduct and not at deliberate conduct. 3. We recognize that it is always possible that any holding of this Court — including this one — may be held to be "erroneous”

2. “It is readily seen that the rule is structured so that the activity prohibited by law, referred to in subparagraph (1) is only a modification of "activity ... incompatible with the expeditions], proper and impartial discharge of their duties.” Since the conduct here involved — driving under the influence — can in no way be construed as activity incompatible with the expeditious, proper and impartial discharge of the duties of a district justice, it cannot be the prohibited activity referred to in subsection (1). Thus, we find that the conduct of respondent did not constitute a violation of Rule 13.”
