This provision prevents a single judicial officer from holding positions in multiple courts simultaneously. This separation ensures independence, prevents conflicts of interest, and maintains the distinct roles of different courts in the judicial system. The phrase "except as otherwise provided" suggests there may be specific exceptions elsewhere in the Constitution that allow for limited dual appointments in special circumstances.
