On the recordJanuary 28, 1998
I, too, enthusiastically endorse the nomination of U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry Silverman of the State of Arizona to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and I would like to make a few comments on his behalf. Judge Silverman brings a proven judicial track record to this position. For the past 22 years he has served as a magistrate judge on the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, my home State. For over 10 years prior to that, he was a superior court judge in Maricopa County. While on the superior court bench, he rendered superior service in all aspects of his civil, criminal, juvenile and domestic relations assignments. In addition to his time on the bench, Judge Silverman spent 5 years as court commissioner for the Superior Court of Arizona, Maricopa County. Throughout his distinguished judicial career, Judge Silverman has earned the respect and admiration of fellow judges and the advocates who have appeared in his courtroom.
