The Paul S. Miller Distinguished Lecture
The Paul S. Miller Lecture is made possible by Rutgers Law School alumnus Paul S. Miller, Class of 1962, and his wife, Carol. Each year the Miller Lecture features a major voice on such topical issues as balancing national security and individual liberties, the legacy of the civil rights movement, and governing in a period of fiscal hardship. The lecture on health care reform and medical education was presented by Rutgers University president Robert Barchi.
Paul Miller received his bachelor’s degree from the College of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers University in Newark and his L.L.B. magna cum laude from Rutgers Law School. Born to immigrant parents, Miller rose to the top of his profession, becoming executive vice president and general counsel for Pfizer Inc. He was a key contributor to the outstanding reputation of the corporation's law department and board of directors.
Paul and Carol Miller also generously support a full-tuition scholarship and funding for expanding international opportunities and policy research at Rutgers Law School.
