From today's Post

I'm not sure the salary range figures from the Province are widely understood. They reflect totals paid in a year which may or may not reflect actual annual salaries. Regardless:

Re: Ontario AG, Lawyers Agree To Legal-Aid Talks, Dec 3.

This excellent article on the discussions between the Ontario Attorney-General and criminal defence lawyers needs a small correction. Justices of the Peace have a uniform fixed annual income of $114,070. The Justices of the Peace with higher reported incomes received additional amounts for prior years' unpaid back salary, which made their one-year income appear higher.

James Morton, Toronto.

Reporter Shannon Kari responds:

While the 2009 base salary for Ontario Justices of the Peace is $114,000, more than 200 of them made over $150,000 last year. And the base salary does not include other benefits, such as vacation, allowances, pension and opportunities to earn extra pay.
