It arrived a day late, but the black robe Michael L. Duffy got for Christ- mas was worth the wait. Duff), a deputy district attorney, was· appointed Tuesday by Gov. George Deukmejian as the county's newest municipal l'Ourt judge. He fills the spot left vacant about six months ago when Judge Christopher G. Money was elevated to Superior Court. Duffy, 42, is a Republican. He's been with the District Attorney's Office since 1981. He was understandably elated Tuesday. "You always hope and pray that something like this will happen " he ' He said he regretted having to leave the District Attorney's Office, but said, "Opportunities to become a judge probably come along once in a lifetime." The prosecutor said he received word of the appointment to the $82,054 post at noon Tuesday and promptly called his wife. The couple has seven children - including three foster children. Duffy has been a """'"'.,,tor for 14 years. Before coming to San Luis Obispo in 1981, he was a deputy district attorney in Orange County for six years. After completing his bachelor's degree at the University of Nevada in 1971, Duffy became a deputy sheriff in Clark County, Nev. "Who would've thought that 20 years after testifying in court (as a deputy), I'd be sitting as a judge," he said. "It's really astounding." Duffy earned his law degree 10 1974 from the Universigr San Diego. Duffy's appom ent met "°ith a positive reaction. In the District Attorney's Office thinned out Tuesday by the holi~ said.
