I don't believe judges are more corrupt than others. Only there are two things that make their category unique:
1- Judges are high-level civil servants, and that implies higher salaries and thus higher cost to corrupt
2- The impact of their job is much more direct and widespread than other civil servants, and the nature of their corruption touches justice not just the economy
So if you want to compare a a normal civil servant that might take a few thousands of dollars to close his eyes on a more or less illegal public procurement issue and a judge that takes money to change his judgment, the former's corruption is less direct than the latter's, and the cost of the judge is much higher!
