Mandiberg Appointed to New Oregon Public Defense Commission
Distinguished Professor of Law Emerita Susan Mandiberg is serving as one of 12 members of the new Oregon Public Defense Commission (OPDC).
She is one of just two members who were appointed by Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Megan Flynn, and she began her tenure in January 2024. Mandiberg’s breadth of experience includes over 40 years teaching criminal law and litigation classes as a professor at Lewis & Clark; work as a trial and appellate attorney, focusing on criminal law and procedure; and author of numerous published papers. Prior to her career in law, she worked as a cultural anthropologist conducting field work in rural Ecuador.
