Arthur Raphael Miller (born 1934), is a leading scholar in the field of American civil procedure and a University Professor at New York University and Associate Dean and Director Tisch Institute for Sports Management, Business, and Media, and Chairman of The NYU Sports & Society Program.
Prior to joining NYU, Miller was the Bruce Bromley Professor of Law at Harvard Law School (1971-2007), after being on the faculties of the University of Michigan and the University of Minnesota. He is coauthor with Charles Alan Wright of Federal Practice and Procedure, the legendary treatise in the field. This multi-volume series is an essential reference for judges and lawyers. Miller is also one of the nation's most distinguished legal scholars in the areas of civil litigation, copyright and unfair competition, and privacy, having written more than 40 books and many articles, including The Assault on Privacy: Computers, Data Banks, and Dossiers (University of Michigan Press, 1971), the first book warning of the threat to privacy posed by modern information technology; Civil Procedure: Cases and Materials (with J.H. Friedenthal, J. Sexton, and H. Hershkoff; 1967-2008 (ten editions)); Federal Practice and Procedure (with C.A. Wright, some with E.H. Cooper, M.K. Kane, and R. Marcus; 1968-2008, West Publishing Co. (more than thirty-five volumes)); Intellectual Property: Patents, Trademarks and Copyright in a Nutshell (with M.H. Davis, 1998-2011, West Publishing Co. (four editions)), among many others. In 1999 Professor Miller made videotapes lectures for Concord Law School, an online law school, privately owned by the Washington Post Co.'s Kaplan Educational Centers, and videotaped 11 lectures for a course on civil procedure. To him, Mr. Miller says, the Web represents what television represented when he started doing his public-affairs television show on legal issues, titled "Miller's Court," in 1979—the next frontier for teaching law to the general public.
In October 2008, Professor Miller became Special Counsel to Milberg LLP and heads the firm’s appellate practice group. Since then, he has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Milberg clients in Tellabs, Inc. v. Makor Issues & Rights, and was involved in the briefing on the writ of certiorari in Pfizer, Inc. v. Abdullahi. In addition, Milberg’s Supreme Court practice group was a key player in the Merck & Co., Inc. v. Reynolds matter, a case in which it serves as co-lead counsel. In August 2013, Professor Miller joined the Lanier Law Firm as Of Counsel.
Miller is the recipient of many awards, including six honorary doctorates, three American Bar Association Gavel Awards, and a Special Recognition Gavel Award for promoting public understanding of the law,dedicatee 67th volume of the New York University Annual Survey of American Law, which is dedicated to a preeminent jurist, scholar, or legal practitioner, and most recently, Queen Elizabeth II with the advice of her government bestowed on him the prestigious honor of Commander of the Order of the British Empire (2011). This honor recognizes Professor Miller’s service rendered to England with respect to his generous gift of more than eighteen hundred Japanese woodblock prints by the nineteenth-century artist, Utagawal Kuniyoshi, to the American Friends of the British Museum which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in the spring of 2009, as well as his more than fifteen years spent moderating public policy issues and dialogues, called Hypotheticals on BBC TV and Granada Television. These dialogues were modeled after the well-known Fred Friendly dialogues, broadcast on PBS, one of which, he won an Emmy ("The Constitution: That Delicate Balance"). He served for two decades as the on-air legal editor for ABC's Good Morning America. His weekly television titled Miller's Court was aired on Boston's WCVB-TV from 1979-1988 and was the first American TV show dedicated to the exploration of legal issues. He provided commentary on the Discovery Channel program Justice Files. He also sits on the advisory board of H5, a firm specializing in electronic discovery for legal cases.
