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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The February 16 letter clearly expressed the [law firm’s] intent to terminate its professional relationship with the plaintiffs, and, in our opinion, this letter constitutes ... an 'affirmative act’ sufficient to put the plaintiffs on notice that their attorney-client relationship with defendants had terminated. Furthermore, ... the relationship between the parties arising from the March 12 letter agreement was a new relationship, which was separate and distinct from the attorney-client relationship existing prior to February 16.”
