Dickstein, Samuel, 1885-1954
Samuel Dickstein (February 5, 1885 – April 22, 1954) was a Russian-born American lawyer, politician, and jurist. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as a U.S. Representative from New York's 12th (1923-1945) and 19th (1945) districts and as a Justice on the New York State Supreme Court (1946-1954).
Born near Vilna in the Russian Empire (now Vilnius, Lithuania), his family emigrated to the United States in 1887, settling on the Lower East Side of New York City. Dickstein attended public and private schools there and the City College of New York before graduating from New York Law School. In 1908, Dickstein passed the bar and began private practice in New York with the firm of Hyman and Gross. In 1911, he entered the Tammany Hall Democratic organization in Manhattan under mentor John F. Ahearn. From 1911 to 1914, he served as Deputy State Attorney General. In 1917, he became a New York City Alderman. In 1919, he was elected as an Assemblyman of the New York State Legislature from the 4th district, serving five one-year terms there.
