Former South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg appeals for dismissal of efforts to suspend his law license, arguing responsibility and professional conduct after a fatal pedestrian accident led to his impeachment and removal in 2020.

Former South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg has been urging the state Supreme Court to dismiss an effort to suspend his law license after a deadly 2020 accident involving a pedestrian, Joe Boever. A disciplinary board of the South Dakota State Bar is seeking a 26-month suspension for Ravnsborg's law license, which would be retroactive to June 2022, potentially allowing him to resume practicing law in August. Ravnsborg has argued that he acted professionally and took responsibility for the accident, which led to his impeachment and removal from office. The court has yet to decide if the suspension should be imposed.
