So right off, the first sentence is wrong. The Supreme Court is appellate to the Superior Court, but the Superior Court is both a court of original jurisdiction and appellate to Court of Common Pleas cases and the first appeal from most agencies, boards, and commissions. I think in some situations a JP case might be appealed to Superior, but I'm not sure. Also, I think Gebhart v. Belton and Gebhart v. Bulah should be mentioned in the notable cases section. They were consolidated into Brown v. Board, but they were the only two cases where the lower court (Delaware Chancery) had ruled segregation to be unconstitutional even before the U.S. Supreme Court said so; the State (Gebhart) had actually lost below.

But I don't know how to Wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.109.7.33 (talk) 04:06, 19 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Also, JP cases are generally appealed directly to Court of Common Pleas, so it is an appellate court, as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.57.27.113 (talk) 14:39, 19 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
