Traxler, Jr. at the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.   She is active in the Georgia Association of Women Lawyers and Georgia Women for a Change.

Sarah is interested in international social policy and the implications of our global economy on the rights of women internationally, particularly in the Middle East.  As a Visiting Scholar at Emory Law for the 2011-2012 academic year, she worked on a research article that examines the relationship between women in the workforce, economic stabilization, and self and social valuation of women across cultures.  The abstract for Sarah's article was accepted for presentation at the International Conference on Feminism and the Law to be held at the ILS Law School in Pune, India in February 2012.
