M. Abigail “Abby” Schueler is from Lexington, Kentucky. For her undergraduate studies, she attended Berea College, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and a Minor in African American Studies. She held many work-study positions while at Berea, mostly focusing on peer tutoring and mentoring with Berea community youth mentoring programs.
After Berea College, she worked for two years at a local Lexington law firm, where her desire to go to law school was solidified. During that time, she spent a summer as an intern for retired Judge Ernesto Scorsone at Fayette Circuit Court.
After working for those two years, Abby attended the University of Kentucky J. David Rosenberg College of Law, where she obtained her Juris Doctorate (J.D.) and graduated cum laude. While at UK, she served as Articles Editor for the Kentucky Law Journal, for which she reviewed and edited scholarly articles submitted for publication. Her note, The Cost of Our Constitutional Rights: An Examination of Prison Medical Treatment for Hepatitis-C was published in the 111th volume of the Kentucky Law Journal.
Outside of her law practice, Abby is a volunteer with Amachi Lexington, a national mentoring program which serves children of incarcerated parents. She enjoys spending her time with her husband and their daughter, taking walks, and exploring different hole-in-the-wall establishments in the central Kentucky area.
