Judge Deborah Lukens was a single mother raising two daughters on a lot of peanut butter and noodles. Her daughter, Judge Jodi Griffis, went the same law school as her mother, and Judge Lukens presented her daughter to the bar. They are the only mother and daughter serving on the bench in Pennsylvania at the same time, and now Judge Lukens is turning over her gavel to her daughter as Montgomery County Magisterial District Judge.
