court to equal the Supreme Bench but I am against rotating
|
2
|
testamentary work in any court. This is my personal
|

|
opinion. I think, with all due respect, from my

experience and from the work that comes into the court.

MR. SYKES: By separate court, you mean the
|
9
|
judges stay there. If it is a separate division of a

10

general court of general jurisdiction, it would be satis-
|
11
|
factory to you provided the judges stayed there and
|
12
|
didn't rotate?

JUDGE FRIEDMAN: Again I can't talk for

I am sure that I want to protect them as much as I want
|
17
|
to protect myself. I could have come here myself

and talked just for Danny Friedman. I am talking as
|
19
|
a court, not as an individual.

MR. SYKES: In either capacity, or in

both, is it your position that it would be satisfactory
