As a newly created committee begins meeting to discuss judicial salaries in Connecticut, the state Judicial Branch has offered up a detailed proposal that would boost annual pay for most judges by about $45,000 or more over the next four years.
In a 20-page report, Chief Justice Chase T. Rogers calls for the state’s judges and judicial magistrates to receive a pay increase of about 11.3 percent next year and 5.5 percent for each of the three following years. That would boost salaries for the state’s 162 Superior Court judges, for example, from $146,780 now to $163,416 next year and $191,890 by fiscal year 2017.
