Aruna Masih is an American jurist and former labor and civil rights attorney. In 2023, she became the first Indian American, South Asian American, and Punjabi justice on the Oregon Supreme Court. Before joining the bench, she spent more than two decades representing employees, labor unions, and public sector clients in complex labor and pension law matters. Her appointment expanded Indian American representation in the state judiciary, where the vast majority of American legal disputes are resolved, and broadened the diaspora’s influence beyond the federal courts.
