Longtime Cochise County Superior Court Judge James Conlogue will be hanging up his black robe and retiring at the end of this month after more than two decades in public service.
The Morenci native, 64, has been presiding judge of the Cochise County Superior Court since 2013, and the judge over Cochise Countyâs Superior Court Division V since 2006.
Modest and soft-spoken, Conlogue declined when the Herald/Review asked if he would speak to a reporter for a profile of his career in Cochise County.

BISBEE â A tentative agreement has been reached between attorneys in a child abuse case that investigators say involved the systematic mistreatment of four adopted children over the course of several years.

PHOENIX A married couple from Hereford accused of abusing their adopted children have agreed to a plea agreement.
The Arizona Republic reports that Brian and Monica Campbell agreed Monday to plead guilty to four of the 20 counts of child abuse in a deal that could send them to prison for up to three years.
Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 22 in Cochise County Superior Court.
Authorities said the couple were arrested last year after video footage revealed years of physical and sexual abuse of the adopted children.
The Republic reported that Brian Campbell worked for the Arizona Department of Child Safety as a case manager and his wife was a Cochise County Sheriff’s Office dispatcher.
Two parents who were facing 20 criminal charges of felony child abuse on Monday agreed to a plea deal that could send them to prison for a maximum of three years.
Brian and Monica Campbell were arrested last year after video footage revealed years of physical and sexual abuse they subjected their four adopted children to at their Hereford home. Their offenses included forcing the children to drink dirty water out of the family s chicken coop, perform sex acts on each other and use a cat litter box rather than a toilet.
Compounding the children s dilemma was the fact their parents held positions of trust in their southeastern Arizona community: Brian worked for the state Department of Child Safety as a case manager and Monica was a dispatcher for the Cochise County Sheriff s Office, in charge of sending officers to respond to, among other things, complaints of child abuse.
