Who Is The Highest Paid Judge In The Land?

Read about the Judge that makes 112.5 times the salary of the United States president.

by Long Island Attorney Paul A. Lauto, Esq.

Perhaps one of the most prestigious legal titles that one may hold is that of Judge. In order to become a Judge one needs to, among other things, have an advanced education, a good professional reputation and plenty of political support.  But how much do Judges make and who is the highest paid Judge?

One might think that a NYS Supreme Court Judge would be among the highest paid, but they average approximately $140,000 per year.  Certainly, it is reasonable to think that a US Supreme Court Justice is the highest paid, as they work in the highest court in the land.  However, even a US Supreme Court Justice does not hold claim to the highest salary, as he or she averages approximately $210,000 per year.
