Annotation

THIS IS THE EIGHTH SURVEY OF JUDICIAL SALARIES IN STATE COURT SYSTEMS PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR STATE COURTS AND IT COVERS THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY THROUGH MARCH 1976.

Abstract

THE 'JUDICIAL SALARIES IN APPELLATE AND TRIAL COURTS' TABLE LISTS FOR EACH STATE COURT SYSTEM THE DATA OF LAST SALARY CHANGE MANDATED BY STATE LAW. THIS TABLE, LIKE THE 'RANK ORDER OF JUDICIAL SALARIES' TABLE, UTILIZES SALARIES PAID TO ASSOCIATE JUSTICES FOR THE HIGHEST COURT AND INTERMEDIATE APPELLATE COURTS. THE GENERAL TRIAL COURT SALARIES REFER TO THE STATE-PAID SALARY MINUS SUPPLEMENTS. SALARIES INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTS APPEAR IN PARENTHESES IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FIGURES FOR THE STATE PAID SALARY. THE SECTION DEALING WITH JUDICIAL SALARIES IN COURTS OF LIMITED AND SPECIAL JURISDICTION IS DIVIDED INTO SEVEN CATEGORIES ON A JURISDICTIONAL BASIS. APPENDIX I LISTS, ON A STATE BY STATE BASIS, SALARIES SCHEDULED TO TAKE EFFECT IN THE FUTURE AND PENDING LEGISLATION WHICH COULD AFFECT JUDICIAL SALARIES. APPENDIX II INDICATES THOSE STATES WHICH PROVIDE FOR 'FLOATING' JUDICIAL SALARIES ON THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX OR OTHER COST OF LIVING ADJUSTER. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
