## Opinion text

NIX, Chief Justice,
concurring.
I join the majority’s holding that a minor is not prohibited from running for District Justice in Montgomery County under the extant statutory provisions. However, the issues of being permitted to run for the office and, if elected, being entitled to be seated are distinctly different issues. In the posture of this matter, the latter issue is not before us.
