Margaret Russell: Toward Civil Liberties for All 

Margaret Russell is a faculty member at Santa Clara’s Law School,
and serves as the university’s Interim Associate Provost for
Diversity and Inclusion. Dr. Russell founded the East Palo Alto
Community Law Project during her law program at Stanford, and has
served on the board of the ACLU for 30 years. Dr. Russell
specializes in constitutional law, and is frequently quoted in
Bay Area news sources about current events in politics.


In this conversation, we discuss how Dr. Russell got interested
in constitutional law, why lawyers are more like creative problem
solvers than the stereotype of law being boring, what she learned
from starting the East Palo Alto Community Law Project, and
advice for students on staying engaged in political issues.
