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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Availability of Summary Proceedings. A criminal contempt may be punished summarily when it is determined that such summary punishment is necessary to maintain order in the courtroom and: “(1) The contemptuous conduct could be seen or heard by the presiding judge and was committed within the actual presence of the court; “(2) the judgment of contempt is entered upon the occurrence of the contemptuous conduct; and “(3) the punishment imposed for each contempt does not exceed three months imprisonment or a fine of five hundred dollars.””
