            Edwyn Silberling was born in Jersey City and grew up in Brooklyn. He graduated from Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1947. Edwyn received his law degree from Harvard in 1949. 
            In 1951 Edwyn became an Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan under Frank Hogan. He became chief of the Rackets Bureau. Edwyn flourished as a prosecutor, becoming a top organized-crime fighter in the Kennedy Administration. In 1957 New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller chose Edwyn to serve as special assistant attorney general in charge of a governmental investigation regarding corruption in Suffolk County. He was credited by friends and critics with bringing down the county's Republican Administration in the election of 1959. His work in the public sphere caught the attention of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy who appointed him Chief of the Organized Crime section of the United States Department of Justice where he headed a team of 50 lawyers; his team would quadruple in size during his tenure. Edwyn would retire from public service in 1963 to pursue the private practice of law in both Manhattan and Long Island.
