that our lower court system will get so large we will be
put right back into another hodge-podge system, and con-
fusion will reign
I frankly see no difference in a system of this
type than our present system.
We will have a four-tier system, with such a
variety of divisions, that in reality it will not be a
four-tier system at all. But my major concern rests with
the word "exclusively".
You are in fact tying the hands of our future
legislators if indeed they feel specialized courts are
necessary.
Many delegates are under the impression that the
minority added on other courts that may be provided by
law in order to retain such courts as our Orphans' Court.
This is indeed a fallacy and the minority had no intention
to do this', nor could they, if that was their intention.
We must not forget that any specialized court
established by the legislature would under the minority
draft, would also be a court of uniform jurisdiction,
applicable over the state, not just in one particular area
