The Age has reported the conviction for drug trafficking of a 41 year old church-going Melbourne patent lawyer with a Master of Laws after a shoe box containing about $170,000 in cash and $300,000 worth of the drug ice was found in her apartment. She is yet to be sentenced. It will be interesting to see what happens to her practising certificate.
