Weddington, Sarah Ragle, 1945-
Sarah Ragle Weddington was born on February 5, 1945, in Abilene, Texas. She received a B.S. from McMurry College in Abilene in 1965 and a J.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in 1967. She practiced law in Austin, Texas, from 1967 to 1977, and in 1970 and 1971 she was assistant city attorney in Fort Worth, Texas.
