Even as the state Legislature met in special session last week to deal with the state’s budget crisis, lawmakers received a request for new expenditures.
A committee studying judicial compensation in Connecticut has proposed raises of 5.3 percent for state judges for each of the next four fiscal years. The plan would increase Superior Court judges’ annual pay from current salaries of $146,800 to $180,483 over the four-year period — an overall increase of about 23 percent. Pay for Appellate Court judges and Supreme Court justices would increase by a similar percentage, and judge trial referees, who handle many Superior Court cases, would see their per diem pay rise from $220 to $270.
