History
Sara Mauer
Sara Mauer was the 1st Minister of Justice. She was born on October 15th, 1965, in the present-day city of Xion, Amhem, Makko Oko, and grew up as the youngest child in a family of three siblings. Her father was a named partner working for Richter & Mauer LLP, and her mother worked as a school teacher.
Sara showed early signs of her interest in law and justice, and after completing her high school education, she pursued a law degree and ended up getting the highest marks on the bar exam, graduating with honors in 1987 and started her professional career as a lawyer at the largest law firm in the nation, Lavangia Associates. She would work there and become a senior partner in 1992, making her the youngest person to ever become a partner not just at Lavangia but in the entire world, becoming a senior partner at the age of 27. She would leave without ever having become named partner in 1998 to clerk for the Supreme Court, later moving to the Office of the President working as a legal rep for the government to advise then-President Julius Knudsen. During her tenure as a lawyer, she developed a reputation for her meticulous attention to detail and her unwavering commitment to justice.
In 2001, Sara joined the Department of Justice as a public defender. Her razor-sharp legal expertise soon caught the attention of her superiors, and she was promoted to the position of policy analyst in 2002. There, she had led some major decisions that earned her a promotion to senior policy analyst and then to secretary of legal policy in 2007.
In 2011, Sara was appointed as a judge to the Supreme Court, where she presided over several high-profile cases. She gained widespread admiration for her sound judgment, keen insight into legal matters, and her firm but fair approach to sentencing. Her accomplishments on the bench were widely lauded, and in 2018 she personally spared the lives of multiple CNF soldiers who should've been executed to be "lenient during these trying times". That made her good personal friends with the Emperor, earning her a spot in the Ministry of Justice after the war concluded in 2019.
In her personal life, Sara is a devoted family woman. She has been married for over twenty years to her college sweetheart, Phillip Mauer, who is a successful businessman. They have two children together, and despite her demanding professional schedule, Sara maintains a healthy work-life balance.
Major Actions
Sara helped to spearhead the National Citizens Aid Service in November 2022 by assisting in drafting and having ratified, the 5th Amendment to the Basic Rights. NCAS is a government agency under the MOJ that provides free legal assistance to anybody that qualifies as outlined under the Constitution, along with providing some additional supplementary services not specifically required by the Constitution.
In late 2023, Sara spearheaded reform in the legal services industry by successfully proposing the Legal Equality and Access Act of 2023, which prohibited the establishment or operation of any legal associations, including the Republican Legal Association, which shutdown as a result of the law's enactment. In addition, it also put everything regarding attorney licensure under the MOJ's control and established service duties for attorneys, which was a highly controversial decision.
