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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When a guilty plea is entered, it is defense counsel's duty to assist actually and substantially the defendant in deciding whether to plead guilty and to ascertain whether the plea is entered knowingly and voluntarily ... Counsel must be familiar with the facts and the law in order to advise the defendant meaningfully of the options available ... This includes the responsibility of investigating the potential defenses so that the defendant can make an informed decision... Counsel's advice need not be the best, but it must be within the realm of competence demanded of attorneys representing defendants in criminal cases at that time. Rogers v. Maggio, 714 F.2d 35 (5th Cir.1983) quoting Bradbury v. Wainwright, 658 F.2d 1083, 1087 (5th Cir.1981) cert. denied 456 U.S. 992 , 102 S.Ct. 2275 , 73 L.Ed.2d 1288 (1981).”
