The Southern District of New York Chapter of the Federal Bar Association advises with deep sorrow of the passing of the Honorable Harold Baer. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family.  We understand that he had taken a fall over the weekend and was in the hospital but succumbed to his injuries.

Just last week, Judge Baer was honored by the Network of Bar Leaders, an organization he helped to create.  A link to photos from the event, which was attended by SDNY Chapter officers and hosted by Chapter Past President Phil Schatz, is attached below:

Regards,

Bill
