Not that she runs the show, but playing a lawyer on Sex in the City isn’t really the same as being a lawyer, or a qualification for being named to the Commission on Judicial Nominations.

And just like that… lefty actress Cynthia Nixon will get to screen and recommend candidates to serve on the state’s highest court, The Post has learned.

Nixon — who isn’t a lawyer but played one on the hit HBO show “Sex and the City” — was just appointed to serve on the Commission on Judicial Nomination by New York Chief Judge Rowan Wilson.

The commission suggests and vets potential judges to the Court of Appeals. Nixon’s appointment runs through April 30, 2030 and the position is unpaid.

Granted, her appointment relates to her political involvement, having lost to Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for governor in 2018 for being far too radical a leftist even for the New York Democratic base. Perhaps playing a lawyer on TV was the better explanation for her appointment to a commission that creates a list from which judges for the state’s highest court must be selected?

Not to be outdone, Zohran Mamdani crafted his own committee to advise on city judicial appointments, which he proudly asserted reflected “a truly representative cross-section of the legal profession in New York City.” This was a bit too hyperbolic to be ignored.

When Mayor Zohran Mamdani last week unveiled the 18-person committee that will advise him on his judicial nominations, he said the committee reflected the city it served.

But to some observers, something seemed off.

Though Jews make up an estimated 10 percent of the New York City population and represent such a significant share of New York City lawyers that the Jewish lawyer has become a cultural stereotype, the mayor’s 18-person committee seemed to have no Jews on it.

The committee isn’t solely of Mamdani’s doing. Of the 18 members, the mayor only appoints nine including the chair, Ali Najmi, with the balance recommended by judges and law school deans, subject to the mayor’s appointment. One recommendation, retired Appellate Division Justice, John Leventhal, was reportedly rejected because his firm represented Ghislaine Maxwell on appeal.

What are the chances? There are, to be blunt, a lot of Jewish lawyers in New York City. On Twitter, it was asserted that the make up about 50%, and the ” statistical odds are .55 to the 18th power that this is random.” Whether this is accurate, I can’t say, but it’s hardly far-fetched.

Should we start counting the number of Jews on a committee, as if some disparate impact applies? Hardly. No one is entitled to be on a committee by dint of their religion any more than because of their race or gender. But then, given the extreme unlikelihood of a committee of 18 New York City lawyers and judges not having a single Jewish member, it emits the odor of exclusion by the mayor. Given the issues surrounding Mamdani’s position in support of terrorists resistance fighters, and his overt antagonism toward Israel and Zionism, the total absence of any Jews on the committee is damning.

“To have no Jews on the committee that’s selecting New York City judges is pretty remarkable,” said Matthew J. Kluger, the president of the Bronx County Jewish Bar Association. “It certainly sends a strong message.”

The message, Mr. Kluger said, is that the administration doesn’t seem interested “in hearing from the voices of Jewish lawyers and judges, in terms of picking judges. It’s pretty clear.”

Should Jewish lawyers forget about any chance of being appointed to the judiciary? That remains to be seen. Despite the make up of the committee, perhaps it will do its job with the fairness Mamdani says it will. Perhaps highlighting the complete absence of any Jewish members of the committee will push it to go out of its way to recommend Jewish lawyers for the bench just to show it’s not discriminating against Jews.

Then again, perhaps not, particularly since few pay close attention to mayoral judicial appointments. Regardless of what ends up happening with the committees recommendations, the fact remains that Mamdani, who is already under scrutiny for his dubious views about Jews, did the almost impossible, formed a committee of lawyers in New York City devoid of Jews.
