Robins Kaplan LLP Attorney Appointed to California Judicial Committee

Robins Kaplan LLP is pleased to announce that Roman Silberfeld has been appointed by California Governor Gavin Newsom to serve as a member of the Judicial Selection Advisory Committee for Los Angeles County. The committee is one of eight regional Judicial Selection Advisory Committees that have been created throughout the state to provide “preliminary, non-partisan feedback on candidates and help promote a diverse and inclusive nomination process for California’s judiciary.” Committee members will review judicial candidates and provide advisory feedback to the governor on their “legal acumen, work ethic, temperament, and demonstrated commitment to public service.” Silberfeld is one of only three private attorneys who will serve on his region’s committee.

Silberfeld has more than 40 years of experience as a trial lawyer in business, corporate, antitrust, mass tort, and intellectual property litigation. He has been lead counsel in a number of high-profile trials, representing both plaintiffs and defendants. He was recently named president-elect of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, an elite organization that he has been a member of since 2002.
