Dean Frederick Bryson (September 27, 1910 – April 15, 1995) was an American attorney in the state of Oregon, United States. He was the 77th justice of the Oregon Supreme Court. Previously he was a circuit court judge for Multnomah County, Oregon, a legislator in the Oregon House of Representatives, served in the Oregon Senate, and was president of the state bar association.
Early life
Bryson was born in Portland, Oregon.[1] He earned his law degree in 1934 from Northwestern College of Law in Portland[1] and was admitted to the bar the same year.[1]
He was later a member of the State Marine Board and National Labor Relations Board.[1] In 1959, Bryson began serving on the Oregon State Bar Association’s Board of Governors, continuing through 1961.[2] That year, he was also the organization’s president.[2]
Politics
Bryson was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives as a Republican and served from 1943 to 1945.[1] From 1953 to 1955 he served in the Oregon State Senate.[1] In 1961, Governor Mark Hatfield appointed him to the Multnomah County Circuit Court.[1] There he served for nine years and was elected as the presiding judge of the court in 1968.[1] As a judge on that court, he made news for issuing a restraining order to protect a Navy recruiter working at Portland State University from 36 students in 1970 during the Vietnam War.[1]
On October 23, 1970, Bryson was appointed to the Oregon Supreme Court by Oregon Governor Tom McCall to replace Gordon Sloan who had resigned.[3][4] Earlier in the year, Bryson defeated Sloan in his re-election bid.[5] Bryson won re-election to a second six-year term in 1976; however, he resigned before the end of that term on April 1, 1979.[4]
