PORTLAND, Ore. – Tonkon Torp attorney Manuella Tshala has been appointed to a three-year term as Ninth Circuit Lawyer Representative for the District of Oregon.
Lawyer Representatives are chosen by federal judges in each of the Ninth Circuit’s 15 districts. In this role, Tshala will work closely with federal judges to improve the administration of justice in the Circuit.
“I view this position as an opportunity to give back to the profession by fostering stronger connections between the bench and bar,” commented Tshala. “In particular, I am eager to support initiatives that ensure our courts not only reflect, but also effectively respond to, the diverse communities we serve. This includes taking the insights and goals from the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference and helping implement them in meaningful ways at the District level.”
Tshala is an associate in Tonkon Torp’s Litigation Department with a practice focused on complex litigation matters for businesses and individuals, including real estate disputes, product liability, and general commercial litigation.
