PORTLAND, Ore. – Litigation attorney Austin Magleby has joined the Board of Directors for the Oregon Lawyer Chapter of the American Constitution Society.
The American Constitution Society for Law and Policy (ACS) is the nation’s foremost progressive legal organization, with a diverse nationwide network that includes nearly 250 student and lawyer chapters, and progressive lawyers, students, judges, scholars, elected officials, and advocates.
“Throughout my life, I’ve been drawn to civic engagement and public service,” commented Magleby. “Joining the ACS board gives me an ideal outlet to connect with other attorneys who care deeply about our institutions, the rule of law, and ensuring the system works fairly for everyone.”
The mission of the ACS is to support and advocate for laws and legal systems that redress the shortcomings of the Constitution, strengthen democratic legitimacy, uphold the rule of law, and realize the promise of equality for all, including people of color, women, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and other historically excluded communities.
Austin Magleby is an associate in Tonkon Torp’s Litigation Department with a practice focused on complex litigation matters, including civil antitrust issues and commercial real estate disputes. He graduated summa cum laude from Lewis & Clark Law School, where he was Lead Article Editor at the Lewis & Clark Law Review and Treasurer of the schools’ Data Privacy Group.
