I disagree re criminal cases, but I've written a proto for generalized equity cases. I'm highly disinclined to make them part of the same proposal though because people might think that other types of cases should exist but that my implementation of equity cases is bad. Cf. the UNIX philosophy. Anyhow, I retract "Judicial Diversification", but I'd still like to get it in before the economic changeover. -Aris
