Sarah Dowler

Sarah grew up in St. Charles County, where her work as a paralegal inspired her to pursue a career as an attorney. Her hands-on experience in civil litigation and family law laid the foundation for her decision to attend law school.

She earned her J.D. from the University of Missouri School of Law in Columbia in 2025. During her time in law school, she interned with Judge Thomas Albus at the St. Louis County Circuit Court and with the Missouri State Public Defender’s Office in the post-conviction relief unit. Drawn to civil litigation, she continued to build her experience by clerking with firms focused on civil defense.

Sarah is especially passionate about advocacy. During the 2024–2025 academic year, she served as Director of the Wasinger Mock Trial Competition for the Mizzou Law Board of Advocates. She also worked as a Rule 13 certified student attorney in the Child and Family Justice Clinic, where she provided pro bono representation to survivors of domestic violence in orders of protection and child custody cases, earning the “Zealous Advocate” award for her outstanding work. She further served as a student advocate in the Veterans Clinic, assisting veterans with disability compensation and discharge upgrade claims.

In her free time, Sarah enjoys attending concerts and traveling with her family.
