Created by Chapter 717, Acts of 1980, the Ju-
dicial Compensation Commission studies and
makes recommendations on all aspects of judicial
compensation so as to ensure that judicial com-
pensation is adequate to attract highly-qualified
persons to the Bench and to enable judges to
continue to serve there without unreasonable eco-
nomic hardship.

Beginning in 1982 and every two years thereaf-
ter, the Commission reviews judicial salaries and
pensions. At least every four years from 1980 the
Commission must submit its recommendations to
