TUSD board member Rachael Sedgwick is working to put her law degree to use after an Arizona Supreme Court committee recommended she not be admitted to practice law, citing concerns about her “deficiencies in honesty, trustworthiness, diligence, reliability and respect for the law and legal institutions,” records show.

Sedgwick, who has publicly contemplated a run for a seat on the Pima County Board of Supervisors, says her bid to be a licensed lawyer in the state was affected by a flawed process and points out that she’s been granted a new review. “The Committee made a terrible mistake,” Sedgwick said in a text, “which is why my petition for a new and proper hearing has been granted, to be scheduled soon. In other words, my application has not been denied.”

The committee on character and fitness decided unanimously in February that Sedgwick “does not possess the requisite character and fitness to be admitted to practice law in Arizona” after she failed to disclose on her application that she was detained by police in 2006 for driving under the influence of alcohol, court documents say.

The Supreme Court later granted her a new hearing because of an error the committee made on the original hearing’s notification. The committee’s decision has been vacated in lieu of a new hearing, which has not yet been scheduled.
