## Opinion text

T. G. Kavanagh, J.
(concurring). We agree that a witness’ past conviction record should not be admissible for the purpose of impeaching his credibility.
We are convinced however that the change *347 should be effected by promulgation of a court rule which would afford the Bench and Bar an opportunity to accommodate to this prospective change in procedure.
Levin, J., concurred with T. G. Kavanagh, J.
