Part-time '''Senior Judges''' in the State of Georgia are paid by the State a '''daily''' rate “in the amount of the annual state salary of a judge of the applicable court, divided by 235.”<ref>O.C.G.A. § 15-1-9.2</ref> So, based on the $200,000 estimated Cobb County annual salary for elected judges, a Senior Judge presiding in Cobb County makes about $850 per day. These Senior Judges obtain their respective working days 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 premium hourly rate, usually between $150 and $350 per hour. In short, a Senior Judge's job heavily depends on the will of the full-time judges. The end result: ''Part-time Senior Judges cater to the desires of the assigning full-time elected judges.'' Thus, if a full-time judge wants a specific 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. | Part-time '''Senior Judges''' in the State of Georgia are paid by the State a '''daily''' rate “in the amount of the annual state salary of a judge of the applicable court, divided by 235.”<ref>O.C.G.A. § 15-1-9.2 (2022)</ref> So, based on the $200,000 estimated Cobb County annual salary for elected judges, a Senior Judge presiding in Cobb County makes about $850 per day.
