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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A judge presiding at a trial should at all times maintain an impartial attitude and a status of neutrality between contending parties. [He or she] should not conclude in advance of the end of the trial what [he or she] will do at that time. For this is to adjudge the controversy without hearing the evidence that ought ■to resolve it. [He or she] should exercise the highest degree of patience and forbearance toward the parties, consistent with decorum and an orderly trial, however irritating their emotional upset or personality may be, and any different attitude on [his or her] part is incompatible with that fair and impartial trial which courts require as due process.”
