Interim Queens Supreme Court Administrative Judge George Silver will host a town hall meeting today to address plans for overhauling how the Civil Supreme court system operates.

The forum is open to all court stakeholders and will take place in Courtroom 25.

News of the overhaul plan sent murmurs through the court last week. Silver told attorneys present in his courtroom that he wants to prevent cases from appearing on the trial scheduling part when there are still motions for discovery pending.

Silver has previously overhauled operations in the Bronx and Brooklyn.
