The Ben R. Miller, Jr. Professorship of Law was established by the LSU Board of Supervisors in 2015 in honor of the late Ben R. Miller, Jr. Mr. Miller graduated first in his class from the LSU Law Center in 1961. He was a member of both the Louisiana Law Review and the Order of the Coif. Mr. Miller helped found Kean Miller LLP, now the largest law firm in Baton Rouge and one of the largest firms in Louisiana. Throughout his 53 year law practice, Mr. Miller remained strenuously committed to the mission of the LSU Law Center, serving as an adjunct professor for numerous years, as an early member of the Law Center’s Alumni Board of Trustees, and a long-standing member of the Chancellor’s Council. He was also committed to improving the broader Baton Rouge community and the State of Louisiana, and he gave his time and expertise in countless volunteer capacities. Mr. Miller took great pride in his LSU Law Center education, and he left a bequest to ensure that the stellar reputation that surrounds the LSU Law Center continues well into the future.
