Originated in the constitution, where the governing fathers wanted a balanced system, but not TWO sides. They developed the Courts in this manner to be equal and separate from the other two. (The other two being the Congress and the Executive branches of Govt. )

The Supreme Court was established in 1816 when Indiana became a state. During territorial days, a General Court of three Judges had served and they, with the Governor, enacted the laws of the Indiana Territory. The new Court first sat at Corydon on May 5, 1817, and consisted of three Judges appointed by the Governor to seven-year terms "if they should so long behave well."
