Philadelphia is an old city, and the court system is extremely well-established as a result. Philly has always had Seasonal Courts, and at the present time has no room in its court system for alternate or other regional court systems. Might this change in the future? Anything's possible, but given the stubbornness of Philly's residents and their tendency to cling to 'how things have always been done,' it isn't exactly likely.
The Freehold itself has been in place since before William Penn, and as such is frequently called the Anglicized version of the original Lenape name for the place and the Freehold on it.

Some of the older, more traditional, or conversely youngest of the Freehold use the Lenape name.
