by Nevada News Bureau Staff 

Nevada's jurists are well compensated in comparison to their counterparts in other states, according to a 2011 report by the National Center for State Courts (NCSC).

Judges for the state Supreme Court are paid $170,000 annually, which puts Nevada well above the average and 10^th on the list of best-paying states.

The median salary for state Supreme Court justices across the United States is $146,917.

California pays its high court judges the most of any state, with annual salaries of $218,237. But the pay scale varies widely for jurists in Nevada's other neighboring states.
