Who earns more a lawyer or a judge?
The answer to this question depends on a variety of factors, including the experience and success of the lawyer or judge, the type of court they practice in, and the jurisdiction they practice in. Generally speaking, however, lawyers tend to earn more than judges.
Judges vs senior advocates
When comparing the salaries of judges and lawyers, it is important to consider the differences between judges and senior advocates. Judges are appointed by the government and are responsible for presiding over cases in court. Senior advocates, on the other hand, are experienced lawyers who have been appointed to represent clients in the Supreme Court.
Compared to their assets, a successful senior advocate in the Supreme Court earns more than Rs 50 lakh a day. Attorney General KK Venugopal recently said that the salaries of Supreme Court judges are only Rs 1 lakh per month. Of course, the judges get good perks, allowances and help at the residence.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is clear that lawyers tend to earn more than judges. This is due to the fact that lawyers can charge higher fees for their services, while judges are limited by their government salaries. However, it is important to note that there are many factors that can affect the salaries of both lawyers and judges, such as experience, success, and the type of court they practice in.
