It is clear from above that both Judge Grubbs and Judge Brantley had very prominent careers on the bench and were highly regarded assets to the Cobb County justice system. However, at some point in their golden years, in their respective retirement tenures as Senior Judges, they appear to have waivered and fallen from their pedestal foundations built on principles into a pool of self sabotage, like unsuspecting hobbits clasping tightly to the Ring of Power. But for what? The most obvious answer reigns supreme: Money. Understanding how judges are paid sheds more light on the matter than is palatable. | It is clear from above that both Judge Grubbs and Judge Brantley had very prominent careers on the bench and were highly regarded assets to the Cobb County justice system.

==== | ====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. Cobb Superior Court judges to get 4 percent county pay raise]</ref> For their pay, these "elected" officials work not less than a 40-hour workweek presiding over matters within their respective jurisdictions. 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 and other political supporters.'' In other words, Full-Time elected Superior Court judges fail to be impartial when presiding over matters involving influencers of their political interests. | 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.

==== | ====Part-Time (Hourly) Senior Judges==== | ||
Part-time | 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. In other words, their 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. | ||
