THE TIMING WAS exquisitely ironic: At virtually the same time the Daily Report announced that the Georgia Legislature, for another year, would fail to approve legislation raising pay for members of the judiciary “Signs Point Away from Judicial Raises This Year,” April 10, it was also reporting on the “lavish” pay raises being enjoyed by first-year associates at Atlanta’s largest law firms “Stressing the Machine,” April 23.
When the end of 2007 arrives, first-year associates at the Atlanta offices of Hunton & Williams and McGuireWoods will be paid $145,000 per year, and the mean compensation paid to Superior Court judges in the state of Georgia will be $133,000. If that is not bad enough, consider this: On an annualized basis, the summer associates at the largest Atlanta firms also will earn more than most Georgia Superior Court judges.
