the delaware judiciary is composed of the supreme court, the court of chancery, the superior court, the family court, the court of common pleas, the justice of the peace court, and related judicial agencies. in terms of interrelationships among the courts, the delaware court system is similar to a pyramid. the justice of the peace court represents the base of the pyramid and the supreme court the apex of the pyramid. as a litigant goes upward through the court system pyramid, the legal issues generally become more complex and, thus, more costly to litigate.
