About Henry J. Miller

 
Henry J. Miller was a magna cum laude graduate of Emory University and a 1929 graduate of the Harvard University Law School. He was admitted in the same year to the Georgia Bar and became associated with the law firm that was the predecessor to Alston & Bird. His association with Alston & Bird has lasted for more than 50 years.

During his distinguished career, Miller served as both counsel to and director of the C&S National Bank. He also served on the board of directors of the Atlanta Gas Light Company and the American Southern Insurance Co.

From 1973 to 1976, Miller was one of the three-member committee that reviewed amicus briefs for the American Bar Association. In 1980, he was designated Amicus Curiae of the Supreme Court of Georgia "in recognition of his distinguished service and contribution to the improvement of the administration of justice." In 1998, Mr. and Mrs. Miller endowed the Ben F. Johnson Jr. Chair in Law at the Georgia State University College of Law, in honor of the college's founding dean.

With his passing on February 9, 2000, the College of Law lost an eminent scholar and benefactor. Henry J. Miller's legacy continues to live in his role as mentor to generations of Atlanta's professional community.
