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.
“[W]e are authorized under the Florida Constitution to “accept, reject, or modify in whole or in part the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the commission” and to “order that the justice or judge be subjected to appropriate discipline.” Art. V, § 12(c)(1), Fla. Const. “This Court reviews the findings of the JQC to determine if they are supported by clear and convincing evidence and reviews the recommendation of discipline to determine whether it should be approved.” In re Pando, 903 So.2d 902, 903 (Fla.2005). While the Court gives the JQC’s findings and recommendations great weight, “the ultimate power and responsibility in making a determination rests with this Court.” In re Davey, 645 So.2d 398, 404 (Fla.1994). Thus, “we review the findings to ensure that there is ‘clear and convincing evidence’ to support the alleged ethical violations” and determine whether to approve the recommendation of discipline. In re Andrews, 875 So.2d 441, 442 (Fla.2004) (quoting In re Kinsey, 842 So.2d 77, 85 (Fla.2003)).”
