Sarah Pitlyk serves as General Counsel to the Thomas More Society, a not-for-profit, national public interest law firm dedicated to restoring respect in law for life, family, and religious liberty.  In that capacity, Sarah has participated in several landmark pro-life and religious liberty cases, including an embryo custody appeal and challenges to St. Louis’s “abortion sanctuary city” ordinance. 

Sarah received her J.D. from Yale Law School after earning a master’s degree in Philosophy from Georgetown University and a master’s degree in Applied Biomedical Ethics from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, where she studied as a Fulbright Scholar. In addition to practicing law, Sarah has taught philosophy and bioethics at the university level. She graduated summa cum laude from Boston College.

Sarah lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with her husband Mark and their four children.  Before moving to St. Louis, Sarah practiced food and drug regulatory law for three years at a large Washington, DC, law firm.  From 2010 to 2011, she served as a law clerk to the Honorable Brett M. Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.  Sarah will share some of her experiences with Judge Kavanaugh, and give her perspective on his judicial philosophy.
