: Legal Pad | LASupplemental benefits for judges jumps a constitutional hurdle
By Richard Binder
In an order issued Aug. 20 and released Friday, First District Court of Appeal Justice James Richman, sitting on assignment as a Los Angeles Superior Court judge, granted summary judgment in favor of Los Angeles County continuing to pay benefits to supplement the salaries of Superior Court judges.
The benefits at issue include participation in the county?s ?MegaFlex? cafeteria benefits program?which allows a beneficiary to receive additional taxable income equal to 19 percent of salary, or benefits costing the county an equal amount?along with a ?professional development allowance? and a 401(k) match of up to four percent of the judge?s salary.
Los Angeles Superior Court judges who received the maximum 401(k) match totaled $46,436 in county benefits, on top of a state salary of $171,648 and benefits that all judges receive statewide.
