Nora Huppert is the William J. Thom Senior Attorney and former Renberg Fellow in the Midwest Regional Office of Lambda Legal, the oldest and largest national legal organization committed to achieving full recognition of the rights of LGBTQ+ people and everyone living with HIV.

Throughout her time at Lambda Legal, Nora has extensively litigated to advance protections and defends the rights of transgender people.  Most recently, she represents plaintiffs in E.N. v. Kehoe, which challenges a state law in Missouri banning gender-affirming medical care, and which resulted in a two-week trial; she also argued on behalf of the challengers in that case before the Missouri Supreme Court. Previously, Nora has served as counsel in Southampton Community Healthcare v. Bailey, which successfully challenged the Missouri Attorney General’s regulations that sought to place extreme restrictions on gender-affirming care for broad categories of transgender people of all ages; Baldwin v. PEBP, which resulted in a settlement removing a categorical exclusion for coverage of facial feminization surgery in Nevada’s state employee healthcare plan; and F.V. v. Barron, which resulted in a ruling that confirmed that a 2020 Idaho law banning transgender people from obtaining gender marker corrections on their birth certificates violated a pre-existing injunction.

Nora is admitted in California and Illinois.
