Sarah Hawkins Warren (born c. 1981/1982) is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia. She was appointed by Georgia Governor Nathan Deal on August 22, 2018, to fill the vacancy created when Britt Grant was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.[2] Warren was sworn in by Gov. Deal and assumed her seat on the Court on September 17, 2018.[3]
Warren received a bachelor's degree from Duke University and her law degree from Duke University School of Law. She served as a law clerk to Judge Richard J. Leon of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and for Judge J.L. Edmondson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.
She became a partner at the law firm Kirkland & Ellis, based in the Washington, D.C. office, where she represented the State of Georgia in Florida v. Georgia (2018), a United States Supreme Court original jurisdiction case that was part of the long-running dispute over the flow of river water among those two states and Alabama.
Warren has also held several positions in Georgia's Office of the Attorney General.[2][4] Immediately before her judicial appointment, Warren served as the state's solicitor general from January 2017, a position in which she also succeeded Britt Grant.[2][4]
Warren and her husband, Blaise, have two children and reside in Atlanta.[4]
