Found two interesting things on the Chancery Court web site. First, this short history of the Chancery Court. Second, that there are only five Chancellors [the rest of us call them judges, but here in DE they're Chancellors, in the system. I had always thought there were closer to 15 or 20 Chancellors. I had noticed that our case law includes a small number of Chancellors, but I thought it was more that we were trying to narrow the focus rather than there being, at any given time, only five possible people to issue decisions.
