Public Attorneys Union Contract Approved
The county and its public attorneys union approved a contract this week that raises salaries for prosecutors, public defenders and child support lawyers to the level of the county’s administrative lawyers over the next three years.
Top public attorneys will make about $132,200 after getting raises of 4.75% the next two years and 3% the following year.
During contract negotiations, the nearly 300-member San Bernardino County Public Attorneys Assn. had protested the pay disparity by clogging the court system with a deluge of legal proceedings.
