- Every court of every grade must have identical procedure in all respects.
- The text requires uniformity for courts of the same grade, so the mere difference between grades does not establish that defect.
- Uniformity applies only to judges with the same surname.
- Appellate courts can never have distinct procedures.
- The Constitution forbids all procedural classifications.
