Does the California Supreme Court have any authority to increase the salaries of a superior judge or other superior judge during their terms of office?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from STURGEON v. County of LOS ANGELES, 167 Cal.App.4th 630, 84 Cal.Rptr.3d 242 (Cal. App. 2008):

superior judge, or, if more, having the terms of these expiring at the same time, there should be no legislative increase in the salaries of these one or more judges which could become effective during their terms of office; while as to counties which had by legislative action effected an increase in the number of their judges so worded as to make the terms of their judgeships expire at different times, the constitutional inhibition was inapplicable and that the increases in such salaries as the legislature from time to time provided for in such counties became effective immediately. ( Sevier v. Riley, supra, 198 Cal. at pp. 173-174, 244 P. 323.)
