the General Assembly and the court by rule would have
concurrent ability to decide the length of an appellate
brief, but that the General Assembly would have no right
to decide what divisions any intermediate appellate court
judge would sit in.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: I concur in that interpretation
