    I second that.

    I've sent a few emails and haven't received any responses, going back a few years already.

    I'm not complaining just wondering if there's a way to delegate....

  Moshe felt that every yid should have access to the top

  And so there should not be a hierarchy of courts.

  But...as a practical matter one person, even Moshe Rabbenu,  can only do so much. The reason Moshe had for not having a hierarchy of courts is not necessarily the only or correct reason.  Practical impossibility to hear all cases is another reason not to have a hierarchy.  If only one person hears all cases,  there will inevitably be a huge backlog.  And "justice delayed is justice denied".

  Rabbi yy was close to a great man the lubavitcher Rebbe that's why he is sensitive to people's problems

  Moshe didn't know what to do:

  1. Whether to undertake the mission to take the yidden out or not,

  2. What to do at the yam suf

  3. What to answer the complaints of those who carried Yosef's bones and missed pesach,

  4. What to answer the daughters of Tzelofhad

  5. How to handle the judicial caseload by delegating before Yisro came 

  Etc etc

  In essence Yisro was suggesting that there be a hierarchy of courts

  This is, lehavdil, the hierarchical judicial system in USA and other western countries.  A litigant can appeal from level to level or bigger cases go to higher level (federal) courts. 

  Ironically in the modern beis din system there is no such hierarchical structure or process of appeal. There are no "higher level" courts for bigger problems and lesser courts for lesser problems. 

  I.e. Ironically,  Yisro's suggestion exists today in nonjewish courts but NOT in Jewish botei din.

  Yisro was distraught his son in law was overworked

  But. ..Moshe had just inflicted the plagues, dealt with Pharoah, taken the yidden out of Mitzrayim, went thru the Yam suf with them, dealt with their incessant complaints,  provided the Mann, etc.

  Compared to that what's so hard about being a hard working judge?

  Moshe alone was judging the 2-3 million people

  Who says that they had much litigation? Maybe there was peace, little or no machlokis?
