Meet Judge Harvey A. Silberman
Judge Silberman has dedicated his career to public service, demonstrating a strong commitment throughout. Originally from New York City and a graduate of Wesleyan University, he relocated to Los Angeles to work as a television writer, contributing to popular shows like Charles in Charge. However, the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s motivated him to shift his focus. With a father in corporate law, Judge Silberman naturally found law to be the most suitable path for him to assist in addressing the immense health crisis.
Upon obtaining his law degree from USC in 1992, Judge Silberman became the inaugural staff attorney hired by AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA). While volunteering for APLA in law school, he witnessed the demand for legal services among numerous AIDS patients. As an attorney, he played an essential role on the frontlines of the devastating illness, providing representation to terminally ill patients in various end-of-life matters, such as drafting deathbed wills. During a time when the disease was widely misunderstood, Silberman emerged as an early advocate for compassionate and dedicated legal assistance for AIDS patients.
After dedicating several years to APLA, Judge Silberman joined a family law firm, where he refined his litigation skills. However, the allure of public service remained too compelling to resist, leading him to join Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County in 1998 as the director of its Family Law/Domestic Violence Program. Concurrently, he held a position as a Professor of Law at USC. In 2004, Judge Silberman's election as Commissioner of the Los Angeles Superior Court marked another milestone in his career, a role he served until his election to the bench in 2008. He was reelected in 2020 and will have to stand for re-election in 2026.
