Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said Tuesday former Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman could lose his law license over his conduct during the taxpayer-funded review of the 2020 election — but he stopped just short of calling for it.
“It’s really a decision the courts have to make. I mean when you have a client and you decide to besmirch the very client that is paying you, I’m not a lawyer but I think that is against the legal code or the legal ethics or whatever it is,” Vos said. “But that’s for somebody else to decide.”
Vos spoke to reporters Tuesday evening after the Republican caucus. He said he has not had contact with Gableman since firing him Friday.
The decision to revoke Gableman’s law license would be made by the Office of Lawyer Regulation, the agency of the Wisconsin Supreme Court that receives grievances relating to lawyer misconduct, Vos said.
