While Sears won her 2004 re-election against Brantley, she resigned from the Georgia Supreme Court bench in 2009. Since then she has worked various jobs, for various organizations and  in different capacities. In 2021, Sears was appointed by the Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) as outside-independent counsel for Chuck Boring, the JQC director at the time, to assist in presiding over a JQC complaint against Cobb County Superior Court Judge, Rob Leonard II (a complaint from which Boring recused himself). When Sears learned that Matt McMaster was challenging Leonard in the May 2022 election, Sears rapidly dismissed the JQC complaint against Leonard and Charles Ford entered the race for Judge Leonard’s seat just weeks later.
