Dugan's Law License Not Suspended by Wisconsin Supreme Court
The court said a full disciplinary hearing must come before any suspension as Dugan appeals her felony obstruction conviction.
- On Wednesday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined to summarily suspend the law license of former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who was convicted of federal obstruction.
- Dugan resigned from the bench after a jury convicted her of obstruction for helping a man evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents inside her courtroom in April 2025.
- The Office of Lawyer Regulation requested a summary suspension, citing her felony conviction as a "serious crime," while defense attorney Stacie Rosenzweig argued such a move would be unprecedented for non-violent conduct.
- In an order issued Wednesday, the court's majority stated that summary suspension was "not warranted," though Dugan will undergo a full disciplinary hearing before any license revocation can occur.
- Conservative Justices Annette Ziegler and Brian Hagedorn dissented, with Ziegler writing that she was "confounded by our court's inaction" and comparing the case to attorney Brett Blomme's prior suspension.
