DRUG COURT WILL BE STROPHY'S LEGACY
Thurston County Superior Court Judge Richard Strophy surprised many
in the community Tuesday with his announcement that he will retire at
the end of his term in January. Strophy leaves after 37 years of
outstanding public service.
Strophy, 63, who started his legal career in Thurston County as a
prosecutor, has served for the past 25 years as a judge in District
Court, then Superior Court.
While commendations will be forthcoming as he nears retirement, there
is no argument that Strophy's primary contribution -- one that will
last long after he has left the bench -- is the pivotal role he
played in launching Thurston County's highly effective Drug Court.
