Biography

Hon. Adrian L. Brown is a judge for the 4th Judicial District Circuit Court of Oregon in Multnomah County. She was elected to the bench in 2020, filling the vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Gregory F. Silver (Ret.).

Prior to her election, Brown worked for thirteen years as an Assistant United States Attorney with the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon, where her focus included civil rights enforcement.

She completed a J.D. at Lewis & Clark Law School in 2000. She was admitted to practice in Oregon (2005) and Washington (2000).

After graduating from law school, Brown began her legal career as a Judge Advocate and officer on active duty in the Air Force in Alaska, Washington, and Germany. Her assignments included serving as prosecuting trial counsel, criminal defense counsel, and a legal assistance attorney for military members and their families.

Brown has volunteered with the Oregon State Bar, the Multnomah Bar Association, and the Oregon Attorneys with Disabilities, an organization she helped start.

Her community volunteer work has included Start Making a Reader Today (SMART).

Brown received the John Marshall Award for Participation in Litigation from United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch for her efforts in helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who experienced employment discrimination.
