By MAX PARROTT | Judge Adam Silvera, the administrative trial court judge for Manhattan’s civil term, is being promoted to take over the role of Deputy Chief Administrative Judge for New York City Courts. The role oversees the daily operations of the city’s trial courts, which are some of the largest and high-volume in the nation.

The state court system’s Chief Administrative Judge Joseph A. Zayas announced Silvera will take over the role as his predecessor steps down to head a task force on other complex legal issues.

Silvera has served as the administrative trial court judge for Manhattan’s civil term since December 2021 — one of the busiest courts in the U.S. Prior to that appointment, he garnered years of experience serving in Civil Court positions across the state system.
