Elizabeth Trautz works with school districts and higher education institutions on a wide range of disability-related issues, including special education, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

L. Rev. 231 (2022)).  While in law school, Elizabeth worked at the Disability Rights Center of New Hampshire, where she continued her research concerning deinstitutionalization and gained experience in the field of general disability law.   

In her spare time, you can find Elizabeth on a pickleball court or spending a quiet evening at home with her pets.
