====Full-Time (Salaried) Elected Judges====
Full-time Superior Court judgeships in the State of Georgia are '''salaried''' positions that are paid with State tax dollars and often times subsidized by the county in which they preside. In Cobb County for example, Superior Court judges had salaries paid for by both State and County taxpayers totaling $200,000 annually.<ref>[https://eastcobbnews.com/cobb-superior-court-judges-to-get-4-percent-county-pay-raise/#:~:text=Their%20salaries%20are%20set%20by,went%20to%20qualified%20county%20employees.

Those judges serve four year terms and must be re-elected by a majority of the voters within their county if they wish to remain on the bench. In other words, their job depends on the voters and, in turn, campaign donations. The end result: ''Full-Time elected Superior Court judges cater to their campaign donors.'' In other words, campaign donors and political supporters get preferential treatment and favorable results in cases regardless of the actual facts. To illustrate how campaign donations influence a full-time judge's decisions, the following chart illustrates the role of campaign donors:

====Part-Time (Hourly) Senior Judges====
====Part-Time (Hourly) Senior Judges====
Part-time Senior Judges in the State of Georgia are paid '''hourly''' with tax dollars at the hourly rate equal to that of a full-time judge in the same county in which they are presiding. So, based on the $200,000 estimated Cobb County annual salary for elected judges, a Senior Judge presiding in Cobb County makes about $100 per hour. These Senior Judges obtain their respective working hours by having cases assigned to them by full-time judges. Mediator assignments are also court appointed roles that Senior Judges receive from full-time judges. And, when a Senior Judge serves as a mediator, he or she makes their money at a much higher hourly rate, usually between $150 and $350 per hour. In short, a Senior Judge's job primarily depends on the will of the full-time judge. The end result: ''Part-time Senior Judges cater to the desires of the assigning full-time judge.'' Thus, if a full-time judge wants a particular outcome in a case, the part-time Senior Judge will make it so simply to increase his or her opportunity for future appointments by that particular full-time judge. To illustrate how campaign donations influence a full-time judge's decisions, the following chart illustrates how full-time elected judge keep influence over a Senior Judges:
