    High Court Clerks Show Market Clout as Firms Boost Bonuses

    DateFriday, June 18, 2004 at 2:19PM

    The intense annual competition to lure elite Supreme Court law clerks to top law firms is reaching record heights this year, with some firms offering jaw-dropping hiring bonuses of $150,000 or more.

    These bonuses, added to base salaries in the third-year associate range, make it likely that some of the Court's 35 law clerks this term will be paid upward of $300,000 the first year they leave their justice's chambers. By contrast, Chief Justice William Rehnquist is paid $203,000 a year, and associate justices make $194,300.

    This news is sure to piss off Article III Groupie. Details here from Tony Mauro of Legal Times via Law.com.
