FOR THE RECORD - Jan. 10, 2009
Judges’ pay: An article and chart in the California section Jan. 3 about Los Angeles County judges’ salaries erred in reporting what deputy district attorneys earn. The article, about legal challenges to a benefits program that means L.A. judges earn more than other judges in the state, said some deputy district attorneys in the county are paid $251,020 in salary and benefits (compared with $249,413 in salary and benefits for a judge in L.A. County). While in theory that is the amount a deputy district attorney could earn under the current benefits system, district attorney’s office spokeswoman Jane Robison said deputy district attorneys at the top salary level at this time are part of an earlier benefits system and can receive a maximum of $234,171 in salary and benefits.
