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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The crux of respondent’s ethical violation here does not turn on the wholly pragmatic or fortuitous outcome of legal events. Rather, the essence of the ethical transgression is the compromised and equivocal professional posture of the attorney. There flows from this an apparent sapping of moral integrity and clouding of intellectual focus, which ultimately undermine the attorney’s ability to give unalloyed legal advice to his client. Equally damaging is the attendant public perception that, as a consequence of respondent’s compromised position, professional probity has been diluted and the administration of justice perverted.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“It is patently unethical for a lawyer in a legal proceeding to represent an individual whose interests are adverse to another party whom the lawyer represents in other matters, even if the two representations are not related. Gray v. Commercial Union Ins., Co., 191 N.J.Super. 590, 598 (App.Div.1983); see International Business Machines Corp. v. Levin, 579 F.2d 271 (3d Cir. 1978). A lawyer may not represent the adversary of one of his present clients. Gray v. Commercial Union Ins. Co., supra, 191 N.J.Super. 590 ; see In re Cipriano, 68 N.J. 398 (1975). [Id. at 607-08.]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. In re Brady“Further, and perhaps even more importantly, the impact on the public of Cohn’s representation of both the State’s principal witness and the defendant in a revocation hearing would not be conducive to respect for law, order, and the judicial process. Public knowledge of those relationships could and probably would engender, at the least, a serious doubt about the integrity of the proceeding.”
