Pfizer diversity case splits appeals court over ‘naming names’ to establish a right to sue

A 2nd Circuit decision on Wednesday that upheld the dismissal of a conservative group’s challenge to a Pfizer program to boost diversity raised a tough question: When an organization brings a lawsuit claiming harm to its members, must those members be identified by name?
