The Arizona Supreme Court disbarred former Deputy Maricopa County Attorney Lisa Aubuchon Tuesday for her role in a series of lawsuits and criminal cases brought against judges and county officials by her former boss, Andrew Thomas.
The unanimous court wrote in an opinion that Aubuchon unquestionably violated ethical rules for lawyers and “failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a prosecutor, abused the public trust, and misused the justice system.”
The court also slammed her for sloppy work in her appeal of a three-judge panel’s recommendation to disbar her. The court said she violated rules of the court by failing to develop arguments and properly support them, and she improperly asked the court to thoroughly review the record and cited to lengthy documents without specificity.
