Re: The official salary for judges has always been too low [#permalink]
Paul
Clearly, A is best.

Mel says: The official salary for judges has always been too low to attract the best Candidates to the job

A) says that the ban on receiving money for lectures and teaching engagements will not affect the situation and in that in fact, the raise in salary really does improve the situation. However, Pat's response is based on current members "Since very few judges [current judges] teach or give lectures..." This is not sufficient to explain how that ban will not hamper the recruitment of the best candidates as mentioned in Mel's argument.

D) Pat does give evidence to support his argument. "Since very few judges teach or give lectures, the ban will have little or no negative effect" is his argument although it is a weak one as explained above


Hey Paul, here I go. :)

A here as well, the best answer, imo

gee is this an ultimatum??
Pat's response to Mel about salary is just an opinion without any evidence or convincing logic. Among all the options D comes pretty darn close IMHO.

D.by pointing to the absence of negative effects simply denies MelтАЩs claim without putting forward any evidence in support of that denial

Pat states that very few judges teach, so he actually does put some evidence forward to back upi his statements. IMO, D is incorrect, and also incomplete :)

Obviously A is the answer.

Pat explains that current Judges includes few who teaches or give lectures...whereas Mel was talking about attracting potential candidates which might want to go for teaching and lectures.

So mere raising salary govt. might not still get good quality of judges.....

Re: The official salary for judges has always been too low [#permalink]
Hi,
We need to weaken the argument stated by PAT,who states that the situation does improve buy citing a evidence about the few judges.

Now option E states that the changes (that is the raise in salary) will benefits most of able members of a group (that is few judges ) will benefits all members of that group.

So isn't it the correct assumption?

Just to know the rights reason to know eliminates this option.

Thanks :)
