The Miller Institute is named in tribute to the Honorable G. William Miller (1925 - 2006) and his wife Ariadna Miller. A Boalt alum, the Hon. Miller served as the United States Secretary of the Treasury under President and as the 11th Chairman of the Federal Reserve.  He was deeply committed to enabling work that would promote the Rule of Law as a means to ensure that nations share a set of values without sacrificing their individual cultures, and was the guiding force behind the founding of the Miller Institute at Boalt.
