archenemy Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Since when is $162K a year considered low pay? I heard a comentator refer to Federal judges getting paid this paltry amount as a "crisis". WTF? What happened to serving the public? Whining about making this much money a year? http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/01/01/judges.pay.ap/index.html Quote
mneagle Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 According to this report, lawyers make $150,000/year on average: Money_Mag_Lawyers Given that this number includes the scum as well as the saints of the profession, it seems reasonable to me that there should be a certain financial incentive to serve the public.

archenemy Posted January 2, 2007 Author Posted January 2, 2007 There is a certain financial incentive-- $160+ a year. I would greatly hope, however, that financial gain is not in the top three reasons to serve the public. Quote
AlpineK Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Yes I agree. I hope people in jobs like that are there to serve the public first and bring home the bacon second. Quote

G-spotter Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 The more the judge is paid, the less susceptible they will be to bribery... OR The more the judge is paid, the more sympathetic they will be to the wealthy... Quote
archenemy Posted January 2, 2007 Author Posted January 2, 2007 Somehow I doubt that judges often come from poor families. Quote
