SACRAMENTO — California’s judges and justices will soon receive their first pay raise in more than six years, a 1.4 percent bump that’s retroactive to July 1.

A second wave of pay increases, tied to contracts that have been negotiated with state employee bargaining groups, should add an additional 4.5 percent to jurists’ salaries by July 2015, according to judiciary leaders. Base pay for trial court judges would rise from $178,789 today to just under $190,000 in 18 months.
