| Info | Barry G. Silverman (born October 11, 1951) is a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Born in Bronx, N.Y., Silverman attended Phoenix's Central High School in the late 1960s. Silverman earned his B.A. from Arizona State University in 1973 and his law degree from the Arizona State University College of Law in 1976. Silverman served as assistant city prosecutor for the city of Phoenix from 1976 until 1977 and was the deputy county attorney from 1977 until 1979, being assigned to the courtroom of future U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who at that time was an Arizona jurist. Silverman was a Maricopa superior court commissioner from 1979 until 1984. Then-Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt appointed Silverman a state superior court judge in 1984. In 1995, Silverman was appointed a United States magistrate judge in Phoenix.
On November 9, 1997, President Clinton appointed Silverman to his seat on the Ninth Circuit. Silverman's nomination enjoyed bipartisan support, with backing from Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, a key member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Silverman's nomination was sent by the Senate Judiciary Committee to the floor of the Senate on November 13, 1997. The full Senate confirmed Silverman in a voice vote on January 28, 1998.
