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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well settled that an attorney who has acted for one party cannot render professional services in same matter to the other party, and it makes no difference in this respect whether the relation itself has terminated, for the obligation of fidelity still continues * * * While no fraudulent intent appears, the practice gave ap-pellee an improper advantage, and the ethical objections are insuperable. We consider this error so 'vital that even though no other error appeared, the judgment necessarily must be reversed.””
