Oregon judges, among the lowest paid for their positions in the nation, could see consistent pay raises over the next few years.
Two bills introduced this Legislative session — House Bill 2636 and Senate Bill 11 — propose to increase the salary of Oregon judges this year by about $10,000 to $12,000, and establish an annual pay raise of about $5,000 to $6,000 through Jan. 1, 2020.
Circuit judges, including the seven in Deschutes County, would see their salaries increase this year to $135,775, a pay raise of more than $10,000. Their salaries would then increase by about $5,600 in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Thomas Balmer — who requested the bills along with the Oregon Circuit Court Judges Association — would be the highest paid judge in the state, earning $150,571 this year.
