Sam Silver, a Fellow of both the American College of Trial Lawyers and the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, is best known as a go-to trial lawyer who can and will take any matter into a courtroom. In addition to handling his caseload, he is regularly asked to teach on trial-related issues. He is also widely known for his often-high-profile pro bono cases, which have included several capital and non-capital homicide cases. Sam is committed to pro bono work and capital case representation in particular. His accomplishments include successful retrials of two separate death-condemned inmates before juries, both cases resulting in unanimous verdicts for the defense. In its piece on the Anthony Wright case, Rolling Stone called Sam a “powerhouse trial attorney.” His work also includes serving as an adjunct faculty member of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and teaching trial advocacy and other courses for the National Institute of Trial Advocacy (NITA).
