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. ==Career== 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,〔T. Mauro, (Corporate Defendants Prevail at Court ) Legal Times, June 22, 2007.〕 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.〔(Arthur R. Miller becomes of counsel at the Lanier Law Firm ) August 20, 2013. Retrieved August 27, 2013.〕 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.〔(Queen Elizabeth II Names Prof. Arthur R. Miller Commander of the Order of the British Empire ) at New York University Law School (undated)〕 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''.〔HODGES, ANN. "A&E, Discovery list fall programming plans." Houston Chronicle 29 Apr. 1992, 2 STAR, HOUSTON: 6. NewsBank. Web. 9 Oct. 2015.〕〔Johnson, Peter. "Norville may lead wave of CNN talk shows." USA TODAY 28 Apr. 1992, LIFE: 3D. NewsBank. Web. 9 Oct. 2015.〕〔"Getting Even." ''Justice Files''. Exec. Prod.

Discovery Channel. 2 Mar. 2002.〕 He also sits on the advisory board of H5, a firm specializing in electronic discovery for legal cases. Miller has argued cases in all of the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal and several before the U.S. Supreme Court. He has worked in the public interest in the areas of privacy, computers, copyright, and the courts and has served as a member and Reporter of the Advisory Committee of Civil Rules of the Judicial Conference of the U.S. by appointment of two Chief Justices of the United States, as Reporter and Advisor to the American Law Institute, as a member of a special advisory group to the Chief Justice of the United States, and as a member of various American Bar Association committees. Miller was also appointed as commissioner on the United States Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Work by President Ford. Miller has for fifty years enlisted the help of some of his students as research assistants, a notoriously demanding position for first and second year law students. Similar to the relationship between a judge and his or her clerks, Miller has stayed in touch with many of his former research assistants and many have gone on to important positions as federal and state judges, law professors, Supreme Court clerks, and as partners at prestigious law firms. New York University President John Sexton was one of Miller's research assistants at Harvard, as was Richard B. Bernstein, now a distinguished adjunct professor of law at New York Law School. Other former students include Chief Justice John Roberts, former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, and Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur R.
