Answer:
Three reasons why there would be resistance to centralization of courts in city and county systems are:
• Public convenience: Many jurisdictions provide court services within about twenty minutes' driving time as a convenience for the public, which would be lost if courts were centralized[1].
• Fear of overreaching federal power: The framers of the Constitution limited the power of federal courts to avoid overreaching federal power[2].
• Court culture: The handling of cases, responsiveness of courts to community concerns, division of labor and allocation of authority between judges and court staff members, and court leadership are all aspects of court culture that could be disrupted by centralization[3].
