    § 36. No civil or criminal appeal, action or proceeding pending before
  any  court or any judge or justice on the effective date of this article
  shall abate but such appeal, action or proceeding so  pending  shall  be
  continued  in  the  courts  as  provided  in  this  article and, for the
  purposes of the disposition of such actions  or  proceedings  only,  the
  jurisdiction  of  any  court  to  which any such action or proceeding is
  transferred by this article shall be coextensive with  the  jurisdiction
  of the former court from which the action or proceeding was transferred.
  Except  to  the extent inconsistent with the provisions of this article,

  conducted  in accordance with the laws in force on the effective date of
  this article until superseded in the manner authorized by law.
