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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * the Dyer Court noted that “even though courts in this circuit have articulated the ‘sham and mockery’ test, they have been in fact applying the more stringent ‘reasonably competent’ test, and that formal adoption of this standard represents a change in name.” Id. A review of New Mexico case law leads us to a similar conclusion. Although this Court and the Court of Appeals of New Mexico have articulated the “sham and mockery” test, there has been a trend toward interpreting the test as requiring a minimum standard of. professional representation .embodying the requirement that counsel conform to expected professional standards and exercise the customary skills and diligence of a reasonably competent attorney * * *. Accordingly, adoption of this new standard does not represent a departure from case law in this State but merely formalizes a trend found in assistance of counsel cases in this State over the last several years.”
