Former Judge Penny Wolfgang of Buffalo, NY; ethical dwarf

The state of New York provided Penny M. Wolfgang with a law license in 1964 after she graduated from New York University NYU School of Law.

The New York Commission on Judicial conduct found Penny guilty of engaging in the following misconduct, all of which took place while she was employed as a Justice of the Supreme Court, Eighth Judicial District, Erie County, New York.

• Lent the prestige of her judicial office to advance certain business and charitable activities
• Allowed herself to be featured in a commercial broadcast on radio station WJYE-FM, in which she identified herself as a judge and solicited support for the Buffalo Stallions, a professional soccer team doing business for profit
• Improperly participated in a fund-raising event of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation by serving on a panel that chose the winner of "Buffalo's Sexiest Baldy Contest," sponsored by the organization
• Permitted her name, judicial title, and photographic likeness to be used in the "Buffalo Home and Garden Show '86" in an exhibit entitled the "Judge Penny Wolfgang Interior Design Room"

As a direct consequence of her misconduct, the cheerleaders for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Judicial Conduct Commission punished Penny by gifting her with a complimentary admonition.

As we speak (ca. February 2024), Penny practices her so-called brand of law at 25 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo, New York.
