  (b)  The Trial Division shall be composed of nine (9) members,
eight (8) of whom shall be the district judges senior in service,
but under sixty (60) years of age, with no two (2) from the same
Supreme Court Judicial District (in case of equal seniority, the
eldest in years to serve), and one (1) active member of the
Oklahoma Bar Association, chosen by its Executive Council or
other body exercising similar powers.
  (c)  The Appellate Division shall be composed of two (2)
