Mercedes Deiz
Mercedes Deiz (December 13, 1917 – October 5, 2005) was an American lawyer. She became the first black woman to practice law in Oregon, and was also the first black woman to serve as a district court judge and the first to be elected as a County Circuit Court judge. During her life and legal career, she was renowned for her sense of community and for her tireless contribution to the legal profession. She left behind a legacy of mentoring and service that others continue to aspire to.
==Early Years==
The oldest of ten children, Mercedes Diez (born Mercedes Francis Lopez)〔Collins 2005, p. 29〕 was born in New York in 1917 to Czechoslovakian and Cuban parents.〔 Raised in a poor family, she credited her parents’ pushing her to spend time at the library and visiting the city museums for her intellectual development.〔 She credited her father, particularly, for “insist() that each of his kids be unique to the best of our abilities.”〔Collins 2005, p. 30〕 Deiz graduated high school at age 16, and worked as a maid, theater usher, switchboard operator and ticket clerk, and attended Hunter College in New York City.〔 After moving to Portland, Oregon in 1948, she would receive her law degree while studying evenings at the Northwestern School of Law, while working as a legal assistant during the day.〔 Before she entered law school, she was active in Portland’s Urban League and the NAACP, partially as a result of her experiences with discriminatory practices by her employers.
