Judges of the Supreme, Appeals, City, and Regional Courts can anticipate raises in their monthly salaries following recent amendments to the Law on Common Courts.

The new salary structure will be based on position coefficients. The Chairman of the Supreme Court will have the highest coefficient at 10, with the base salary set at GEL 1,460 for 2025. Consequently, the monthly salary for the Supreme Court Chair will amount to GEL 14,600 (net salary of GEL 11,680). Under this proposed framework, the Supreme Court Chair’s salary will be comparable to the remuneration of the President, Prime Minister, and Parliament Speaker.

Under the current law, the salary for the Supreme Court Chair is GEL 7,000, the Chair of the Appeals Court earns GEL 5,800, and an Appeals Court judge receives GEL 5,000. The Chair of the Regional (City) Court is paid GEL 4,600, city court judges and magistrates earn GEL 4,000, while judges in reserve receive GEL 500.
