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.

“[T]he guardian ad litem has the same ethical responsibilities in the proceeding as any other attorney,”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“* * * Guardians ad litem may not have ex parte communications with the judge.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“We are satisfied that those rules were applicable in this instance. A guardian ad litem is the attorney for the minor whom he is appointed to serve.... He participates in the proceedings as an advocate.... In Wyoming, that rule is consistent with policy articulated by the legislature in two specific statutes requiring, or permitting, the appointment of a guardian ad litem since, in each statute, the guardian is charged with representing the child.... In accordance with the foregoing authority, we perceive it to be unequivocal that the guardian ad HKtem has the same ethical responsibilities in the proceeding as any other attorney. The specific subject matter of this case is sue-cinetly summarized in this way: "* * * Guardians ad litem may not have ex parte communications with the judge." Podell, The Role of the Guardian Ad Litem, 25 Trial 31, 34 (April 1989).”
