John Malcolm Duhé, Jr.

John Malcolm Duhé, Jr.

John Malcolm Duhé, Jr. (born April 7, 1933, in Iberia Parish, Louisiana) is a retired senior judge on the New Orleans-based Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. He currently practices law in Lafayette.

Duhe's former father-in-law was the late Democratic U.S. Representative F. Edward Hébert of New Orleans, who held the Louisiana First Congressional District seat from 1941 to 1977. Duhe was married to Hebert's only child, the former Dawn Marie Hébert. He has four children, Kim Duhé Holleman, Jeanne Duhé Sinitier, Edward M. Duhé, and M. Bofill Duhé.

Duhé was appointed as appellate judge in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan, and he has been a senior judge since 1999. He was named to the seat vacated by the death of Judge Albert Tate, Jr., of Opelousas, an appointee of President Jimmy Carter.

Duhé received his bachelor of arts degree from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1955 and his law degree from Tulane Law School in 1957.

Duhé is descended from a wealthy old-line Republican Party (GOP) family. His grandfather, Jean (pronounced JOHN) Paulin Duhé (May 7, 1885 - May 2, 1961), was the president of the New Iberia National Bank, head of the Duhe-Bourgeois Sugar Company, president of the Edmundson-Duhe rice mill, third vice-president of the trade association, the American Sugar Cane League, and the president of the St. Martin-Iberia-St. Mary Flood Control Association. Paulin Duhé was also the GOP candidate for the Third Congressional District in 1948.

Previously, Duhé had served as a federal judge for the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. Several distinguished members of the bar have clerked for Duhé, including Tulane Law School professor David Snyder.

Duhé was not Reagan's first choice for the appeals court. The president first nominated former Republican Governor David C. Treen for the post. However, Democratic senators refused to allow a confirmation vote on Treen's nomination.
