divisioni*
Also, we anticipate that the legislature in
creating administrative agencies, such agencies more and
aore are absorbing some of the work that heretofore found
its way into the courts. That also is a flexibility that
is reserved to the legislature.
As a matter of fact there are courts,at least
one court now existing that is not a court but is an
administrative agency. Our emphasis was to mandate in
the Constitution the four-tier system and vest the power
in that four-tier system exclusively, which means that
any other constitutional court can only be accomplished
by amendment to the Constitution,
THE CHAIRMAN: Any other questions?
Delegate Singer.
DELEGATE SINGER: Mr. Chairman, in reference to
Section 5.03, since the chief judge is going to be em-
powered with a great deal of administrative duties, would
it not serve flexibility greater if the seven judges
named in the Constitution were provided as a minimum?
