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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In cases of false statements, fraud, or misrepresentation, this Court issues reprimands only if the lawyer is merely negligent in determining whether statements or documents are false, or fails to take remedial action when material information is withheld, thereby causing injury or potential injury to a party, or causing an adverse or potentially adverse effect on the legal proceeding. [[Image here]] Suspension is appropriate when the lawyer knows that false statements are being submitted to the court, or that material information is improperly being withheld, and takes no remedial action, thus causing injury or potential injury to a party, or an adverse or potentially adverse effect on the legal proceeding. [[Image here]] Disbarment is appropriate when a lawyer, with the intent to deceive the court, makes a false statement, submits a false document, or improperly withholds material information, thus causing serious or potentially serious injury to a party, or a significant or potentially significant adverse effect on the legal proceeding.”
