Considering today's high cost of living,their monthly salaries are not enough. Furthermore, corporations are offering new lawyers with a starting salary almost equal to the salary of a judge. A private practitioner can even make in a week what an MTC judge is earning in a month. Thus , it is not surprising that very a few opt for a career in thejudiciary and the difficulty of enticing an established practitioner from leaving his financially rewarding occupation. It is in this trying times that a solution must be formulated.
