“Inadequate compensation seriously compromises the judicial independence fostered by life tenure. That low salaries might force judges to return to the private sector rather than stay on the bench risks affecting judicial performance...

Diminishing judicial salaries affects not only those who have become judges but also the pool of those willing to be considered for a position on the federal bench.”
