  • Chief judge: The judge who has primary responsibility for the administration of a court but also decides cases; chief judges are determined by seniority.

The salary of each judge of the courts of appeal in this state shall be eighty thousand dollars per annum, payable monthly on his own warrant. However, the chief judges of the courts of appeal shall be entitled to a pay differential, in an amount not to exceed five percent, which amount shall be included in the judicial budget, to compensate for administrative duties of the position of chief judge.
