Sorry, appointing judges that have "special empathy" for a group is a direct contradiction of the idea that the rule of law is a blind rule. Deciding if a law has been broken isn't a function of who you are - except in kleptocracies and dictatorships - but rather something that should be argued out in front of a completely impartial, uninvolved arbiter whose only job is to decide whether a law has been broken or not (and what penalties should be applied.
