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.

“[a]s a practical matter, the request for counsel must be made early in the course of the proceeding. The standard established in Graham was meant to be applied within a reasonable time before the hearing. It would make little sense to evaluate the need for appointed counsel after the hearing is underway. At that point, the trial judge would be required to continue the hearing so that the appointed lawyer would have an adequate opportunity to prepare.”
