Professor Greer joined the Robert W. Entenmann Veterans Law Clinic in August 2021. In the Veterans Law Clinic, students represent veterans in disability appeals before the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and in applications for discharge upgrades before the military's Discharge Review Boards and Boards for Correction of Military/Naval Records. The Clinic particularly focuses on veterans who have experienced military sexual trauma or discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or race, and those who have current mental health diagnoses.
Previously, Professor Greer was the Coordinating Attorney of the Veterans Initiative in the Legal Health division of the New York Legal Assistance Group, where she oversaw the division's VA-Medical-Legal Partnerships with the Bronx, Manhattan, and Northport VA Hospitals. In 2017, she established the first legal clinics in the country to exclusively serve women veterans, enabling them to receive trauma-informed legal assistance on a variety of civil legal matters, and most significantly, in cases involving military sexual trauma. Professor Greer joined NYLAG in 2016 as an Equal Justice Works fellow.
In February 2020, Professor Greer testified before United States House of Representatives Veterans Affairs Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations regarding the VA's failed response to military sexual trauma survivors. In March 2021, she testified before the House Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs regarding Compensation & Pension examinations, with particular focus on examinations in cases involving military sexual trauma.
Professor Greer currently serves as the President of the National Law School Veterans Clinic Consortium, a collaborative effort led by the nation’s law school legal clinics that is dedicated to addressing the unique legal needs of U.S. military veterans. She is also the Co-Chair of the New York State Veterans Law Working Group, a group of legal services advocates from various civil legal organizations with practices focused on serving veterans.
