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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “A lawyer shall not represent a client if the representation of that client will be directly adverse to another client, unless: (1) the lawyer reasonably believes the representation will not adversely affect the relationship with the other client; and (2) each client consents in writing after consultation. As we have explained, McDaniel’s representation of White was directly adverse to the State's interest in prosecuting him. Moreover, contrary to White’s argument on appeal, the conflict could not be waived unilaterally because the new rules require that both clients waive the conflict. The State did not waive the conflict, nor was it required to do so under the circumstances of this case.”
