Greg Nevins is Senior Counsel and the Director of Lambda Legal’s Employment Fairness Project.  He works out of its Southern Regional Office in Atlanta. Among other cases, he has successfully argued Hively v. Ivy Tech Community College, 853 F.3d 339 (7th Cir. 2017) (en banc) (the first federal appellate court ruling in the nation that Title VII covers sexual orientation discrimination); Zarda v. Altitude Express, No. 15-3775, 2018 WL 1040820 (2d Cir., Feb. 26, 2018) (the second federal appellate court ruling in the nation that Title VII covers sexual orientation discrimination); and Glenn v. Brumby, 663 F.3d 1312 (11th Cir. 2011) (transitioning employee held to have suffered sex discrimination).  Nevins also was a driving force in Lambda Legal’s successful amicus effort to get District Courts around the country to recognize sexual orientation discrimination as sex discrimination, see EEOC v. Scott Med. Health Ctr., P.C., 217 F. Supp. 3d 834 (W.D. Pa. 2016); Hall v. BNSF Ry. Co., No. C13-2160, 2014 WL 4719007 (W.D. Wash. Sept. 22, 2014); and most notably, the sprawling, rambling Title VII exegesis he filed as an amicus brief in 2013 in TerVeer v. Billington, 34 F. Supp. 3d 100, 116 (D.D.C. 2014), wherein can be found the arguments for coverage that we all hope will carry the day in the Supreme Court’s October 2019 Term.  Nevins argued not only the two cases in the last five years in which the circuits were convinced to abandon their prior rulings against coverage, but also the one where a circuit said in effect “no thanks, we’re good with what we said on that subject in passing in 1979.”  See Evans v. Georgia Regional Hospital, 850 F.3d 1248 (11th Cir.), cert denied, 138 S.Ct. 557 (2017). A Memphis native, he graduated from his hometown University of Memphis and also Harvard Law School.
