About Lawrence Anthony
Lawrence Anthony Organ graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1984, where he combined campus politics with student leadership. He served as chair of the Undergraduate Assembly, led the Undergraduate Political Science Association, and was president of the campus Young Democrats. He then studied politics at Monash University, earning a master’s degree in 1988 before turning to law.
Organ earned his J.D. from Duke University School of Law in 1994. He chaired the Moot Court Board and served as an editor of the Duke Environmental Law and Policy Forum. Those responsibilities put him in the middle of both oral advocacy and legal scholarship during his time at Duke. The record shows a blend of policy interest and courtroom technique in his early training.
After law school he entered practice in California. Over the years he has been associated with firms and organizations that emphasize civil rights and related areas of public-interest law. His office is listed as the California Civil Rights Law Group, where he has continued work on cases that arise under state and federal law. He is licensed to practice in California.
Colleagues and public records indicate a career shaped by institutional leadership and legal argument. His undergraduate roles point to long-standing involvement in public affairs. At Duke he moved between editorial duties and oral argument, a combination that translates easily to litigation and client counseling. He is comfortable in settings that require written positions backed by legal research and in proceedings that demand a clear presentation of facts.
Organ’s practice reflects the intersections of law, policy, and advocacy that mark his academic background. He approaches matters with attention to precedent and statutory detail. He has handled client work through the framework of California law and federal standards where they apply. His path from Berkeley student leader to Duke law editor and moot court chair to practicing attorney in California shows a steady trajectory toward public-facing legal work.
He maintains an active practice at the California Civil Rights Law Group in California, where he focuses on civil rights matters in state and federal forums.
