Silver, Edward             
SILVER-Edward. The partners, counsel, senior counsel, associates and staff of
Proskauer Rose LLP mourn the loss of our esteemed senior partner and former
chairman Edward Silver. Having joined Proskauer as a young associate in 1948,
after graduating from Cornell Law School, where he was the managing editor of
the Cornell Law Review, Ed set his sights on labor-management relations from
the very start, and went on to enjoy a 40-year career as one of the country's
preeminent labor lawyers. Ed represented some of the nation's largest
employers, serving a wide range of clients in almost every industry, including
telecommunications, broadcasting, publishing, transportation, health care,
brewing, maritime, and insurance. Although Ed was a ``management side'' labor
lawyer and a skilled and successful negotiator, he enjoyed the respect, if not
admiration, of those on the ``other side of the table'' because of his
fairness, decency and unswerving integrity-qualities that he prized above all
others. Ed was a key figure in the labor affairs of New York City and was
appointed by three mayors as a City representative to the Board of Collective
Bargaining. He also served as special labor counsel to the City and
participated for twenty years in negotiations representing municipal
employees. Ed also served as Arbitrator in the settlement of outstanding
issues in the 1983 Metro North strike. Noting his important role in New York
City labor relations, The New York Times applauded Ed for his ``tough, fair
bargaining'' and referred to him as a ``muchneeded pro.'' Ed's leadership and
sense of fairness and decency also served Proskauer well. As Chairman of the
Firm until 1991, Ed helped to change the Firm's management style by bridging
the generations. A visionary and true pioneer, Ed was also instrumental in the
Firm's 1990 move to Manhattan's West Side. Ed was a Director and Member of the
Executive Committee of the American Arbitration Association; a Member of the
New York City Commission on School Facilities and Maintenance Reform and a
Director of the Citizens Budget Commission. Ed served on the Labor Committees
of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, the American Bar
Association and the New York Country Lawyers' Association. A life-long
champion of the underdog, Ed received the Judge Learned Hand Human Relations
Award from the American Jewish Committee in 1984 and the 1988 B'nai B'rith
International Distinguished Achievement Award. In 1989, he was awarded an
honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Hofstra University. We extend our
heartfelt condolences to his wife Marlys, children Ann, Eric, Owen and Adam;
grandson Elijah and all his family and friends. Alan S. Jaffe Chairman
Proskauer Rose LLP
