A year after requesting salary hikes for the state’s judicial clerks, the chief justice of the Utah Supreme Court is asking for another pay increase — this time for judges.
Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice Mathew Durrant speaks to the legislature, on opening day of the 2023 session, on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023.
“It’s been about six years since we’ve had a raise, and a significant raise beyond the cost of living,” Durrant said to both chambers of the Utah Legislature. “We have attracted a big number of these satellite offices,” Durrant said. “They are paying a lot of money, similar to what they pay on the coasts. The result is lawyers’ salaries have gone through the roof. It’s really quite extraordinary.”
