And while many lawyers can do better than $154K a year, there are many who don't. Also, it's not necessarily true that the best judges come from the ranks of the best-paid lawyers. And I would think that almost any lawyer or judge would jump at the chance to sit on the Supreme Court, regardless of the salary -- that's not simply a job, it's the chance to put your mark on history.
