Sending my love to Jane, Emilie, Lauren and family during your grieving and remembrance. I have fond memories of Bruce and remember good times with all of you back in the day. Hope to connect soon. Hugs.

Bruce was my roommate at Delta Chi at Stanford. His cheerful wit and positive attitude were a delight. He would lapse into LA slang at a moment's notice and his shaggy dog stories, which could last for 20 minutes or more, were masterpieces of extemporaneous wit. I counted his as a lifelong friend and deeply mourn his passing.

I arrived after Prof. Miller resigned from WNE Law and met him in person once. His intelligence and commitment to the rule of law and WNE Law were always evident and will long remain with us-my deepest sympathies to his family.

Rest In Peace Dear Bruce, The Champion of Human Rights

"Bruce lived in service to the overlooked and underprivileged; he rejected prejudicial confines, instead seeing in all people their inherent worth." Prof. Miller was one of the few who could do this and he did it effortlessly and with love.

So many wonderful comments and memories about Bruce. I certainly wish I had had him for Constitutional Law - a generally tough subject! My memories of him are from our time with Stanford in Germany. As my daughters would say, "Bruce brought the party." I can still see that gleam in his eye that said he was thinking of "what next?" Auf Wiedersehen, Bruce. You made a big difference to so many people. Beth Nicholson (Gruppe XIV, 1965)

I graduated from WNEC School of Law in 1993. I was lucky enough to have Bruce as a professor more than once. Wonderful, caring person. Condolences to the family.

When I think of Bruce Miller, I think of the many law students whose lives he touched, and the countless additional lives those future lawyers went on to transform through their advocacy. Although I never had "Professor" Miller during my time as a law student at WNE Law, I did have the privilege to work with him during my time on the administration. His commitment to generating and supporting pathways to lawyering in the public interest was genuine and resolute. My condolences to his family,...

Rest in Peace, Professor Miller. Thank you for inspiring my love of constitutional law. Matt Stevens, WNEU Law '23
