Chris Condon is a litigation fellow at Pacific Legal Foundation. A native Long Islander, Chris attended Gettysburg College for his undergraduate studies, where he majored in political science and minored in art history. He is also proud to have founded Gettysburg’s chapter of Young Americans for Liberty—during his three-year tenure as that club’s president, he brought prominent speakers like Ron Paul to campus and hosted several events on foreign interventionism, the militarization of domestic law enforcement, and freedom of speech.
Immediately after graduating from Gettysburg, Chris worked at the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC), a DC think tank covering a wide range of policy issues. His research there primarily focused on political reform initiatives such as ranked choice voting and independent redistricting commissions. While at the CSPC, he also wrote multiple op-eds that were published in The Hill.
Chris then moved on to the George Washington University Law School, where he was particularly interested in constitutional law, civil rights, and criminal defense. During law school, he interned at the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Cato Institute. He had the honor of representing indigent clients before the Appellate Court of Maryland through GW Law’s Criminal Appeals & Post-Conviction Services Clinic and served as the senior online editor of The George Washington Law Review. After graduating with honors from GW Law, he clerked for Judge Eric G. Bruggink on the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
In his spare time, Chris enjoys cooking, mixology, collecting vinyl records, outdoor activities, and searching for great sandwiches. He also never misses an opportunity to discuss American history—particularly the American Revolution—and constitutional theory.
