Have you ever wondered what judges in the Pennsylvania Judicial System receive in compensation?

In 2024, they will be receiving at least 3.5 percent more than this year according to the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

With the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Customers in the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City, PA-DE-NJ-MD region rising by that percentage, the annual judicial salaries will be adjusted by the cost-of-living factor like other state officials under terms of a 1995 state law.
