So you can hire a law firm to represent you, think you hired "lawyer A" and then a judge can order you to be represented by a different attorney, just so that some sort of "diversity" standard is met?

The assumption is that a lawyer cannot represent someone who is sexually or racially diverse. How many criminal appeals would that open the floodgates to?

And when this judge is laying on a Hospital Gurney the doctors should tell him that they’re looking for a ‘minority’ doctor to treat him.

Southern District Judge Harold Baer Jr needs to be removed from the bench for being a racist and sexist bigot, pure and simple.
What a stupidly ignorant idiot!

why didn’t the plaintiff’s choose a minority law firm. They do out there. So much for free market.

Just wait until the new finance law goes into effect which forces Fortune 500 companies and other financial firms to diversify their hiring. Oh, and Treasury, SEC, etc. are required to do so as well.

Just more evidence of the insanity of the leftists who infest government at every level in every branch. To these leftists skin pigmentation and sex trump intelligence, ability and a proven record of competence. This is how we end up with Ginsburgs and wise latinas on the supreme court and an incompetent neophyte in the White House. Not to mention raving ideologues leading majorities of like-minded fools in both houses of congress.

“o all concerned that there is evidence of diversity, in terms of race and gender, in the class counsel I appoint”
Remember our islamtic shoot at the US troop base and the military noting diversity is the primary goal of the military.
Did not work out so well there.

Judge Baer has made a point of supporting diversity from the bench That's not supporting diversity, it's naked bigotry in its worst form.
Typical lib, doesn't see people as individuals, but rather, as "black", "white", "man", "woman". Another disgusting example of the left stripping people of their humanity.

“Judge Baer appointed the plaintiffs firms to lead the case two years ago, and in August they submitted an unopposed motion for a preliminary settlement. (The settlement agreement was made in conjunction with two other proceedings in Canada.) What remains are largely administrative functions and a hearing for preliminary approval of the settlement.”
That is the worst part of this! The freaking case is pretty much settled,all that is left is a hearing and for lawyers to divide up the loot. The worthless bastard just ordered that two affirmative action flunkies have to get a chunk of the loot that they did nothing to earn!

Is there a procedure within the law for removing some of this idiots?
If we can not get this sort of lunacy off the bench, at every level, we done as a nation of laws.
(I know, in some ways we already are.)
