Paul B. Miller, the Associate Dean for International and Graduate Programs and Robert and Marion Short Professor of Law at Notre Dame Law School, was recently elected to be a member of the American Law Institute.
The Institute’s members have the opportunity to influence the development of the law in both existing and emerging areas, to work with other eminent lawyers, judges, and academics, to give back to a profession to which they are deeply dedicated, and to contribute to the public good.
Miller joined the Notre Dame Law School faculty in 2017. He previously taught at McGill University in Montréal and has held visiting appointments at Bucerius Law School, the University of Melbourne, Université Paris II – Panthéon-Assas, Peking University, and Tel Aviv University.
Miller is a private law theorist whose work focuses on general jurisprudence as well as philosophical questions in equity, fiduciary law, trust law, agency, and corporate law. His books include Philosophical Foundations of Fiduciary Law, The Oxford Handbook of Fiduciary Law, and Civil Wrongs and Justice in Private Law. Miller is a member of the Editorial Board of the American Journal of Jurisprudence and serves (with John Oberdiek) as the Editor for Oxford Private Law Theory and the associated series, Oxford Studies in Private Law Theory, both published by Oxford University Press.
At Notre Dame Law School, Miller is also the director of the Notre Dame Program on Private Law, which supports and enhances the scholarship of Notre Dame faculty working in private law. The program also promotes the many collaborative initiatives that Miller and others have undertaken in the field.
“I am honored to have been elected to membership in the American Law Institute,” said Miller. “I look forward to working with fellow members and the Institute on projects that promise to make our laws better suited for the realization of justice for all Americans.”
