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 92 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“consider the advisability of restricting the covenant's geographical scope in light of the number of patients who would be so restricted.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Dwyer represents an exercise by the judicial branch of its unique constitutional responsibility for regulating the conduct of attorneys.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Commercial standards may not be used to evaluate the reasonableness of lawyer restrictive covenants. Strong public policy considerations preclude their applicability. In that sense lawyer restrictions are injurious to the public interest. A client is always entitled to be represented by counsel of his own choosing. The attorney-client relationship is consensual, highly fiduciary on the part of counsel, and he may do nothing which restricts the right of the client to repose confidence in any counsel of his choice. [ 133 N.J. Super. at 346-347 ; footnote and citations omitted].”
