The Wisconsin Supreme Court has decided a former drug smuggler will be allowed to practice law in the state.
The Wisconsin Bar Association was ordered Tuesday to admit Abby Padlock. A board of examiners had kept Padlock out because she didn’t include details of a 2015 arrest on her University of Wisconsin Law School application. She was stopped by authorities in Minnesota and they found she was transporting marijuana from Oregon to Wisconsin.
Law school faculty members had supported her admission to the bar.
