Prelogar is a veteran of the Office of Solicitor General, having served as an assistant in the office from 2014 to 2019, where she argued cases as an appellate attorney. She argued seven cases before the Supreme Court in that role, including US v Bryant, a case that questioned whether uncounseled, misdemeanor convictions heard in Indian tribal court could be used as part of domestic violence cases heard in federal court. The case was decided unanimously in favor of the United States.
