Sarah Kersting-Mumm

Sarah Kersting-Mumm serves as the Weil Legal Innovator Fellow, conducting research to support ongoing litigation and liaising to further the organization’s integrated advocacy.

Sarah recently graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Clark University, where she majored in political science and sociology. As an undergraduate, Sarah worked as an intern with the American Bar Association’s Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice, as a judicial intern with the Massachusetts Trial Courts, and as a research assistant focused on voting rights, ranked choice voting, and civil discourse messaging. Sarah also volunteered at her local court service center, providing direct services to self-represented litigants in a wide range of family and housing law cases. This work inspired her honors thesis on the unmet legal need crisis and broader access to justice crisis.

After her yearlong fellowship with the ACLU of Texas, Sarah will attend Harvard Law School, where she hopes to pursue a career in public interest law.
