shall make rules and regulations to regulate and revise the
practice and procedure in that Court and in the other courts of
this State, which shall have the force of law until rescinded,

to make rules of practice and procedure shall be subject to the
rules and regulations prescribed by the Court of Appeals or
otherwise by law.
