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

  1. “A lawyer shall not act as advocate at a trial in which the lawyer is likely to be a necessary witness except where: 1. the testimony relates to an uncontested issue; 2. the testimony relates to the nature and value of legal services rendered in the case; or 3. disqualification of the lawyer would work substantial hardship on the client.”

  2. “Because [the defendant's] fourth counsel was privately retained and not an attorney in the public defender's office, we do not treat him as one of a succession of attorneys from the same public defender's office, who are not to be considered 'new' counsel for the purpose of raising ineffective assistance claims[.]”

  3. “circuit public defenders working in the circuit public defender office of the same judicial circuit are akin to lawyers working in the same unit of a legal services organization and each judicial circuit's public defender's office is a 'firm' as the term is used in the rule.”
