Professor Anthony Miller has been teaching at Pepperdine University School
of Law since 1977. He has taught Torts, Remedies, Constitutional
Law-Individual
Rights, Family Law, Community Property, Domestic Relations Dispute Resolution,
Labor Law, Public Sector Labor Law, International commercial Arbitration, and
Arbitration Practice. While these courses may seem disparate, his interest in
family law and labor and employment law actually go well together, both
emphasizing the law that governs ordinary Americans in their most important
relationships.
These two interests have dominated Professor Miller's professional life in other ways as well. He has published in both areas. He is the co-author with Swisher and Singer of a casebook entitled Cases, Materials, and Problems in Family Law, 2nd ed. (Lexis). His most recent publication entitled "Baseline, Bright-line, Best Interests: a Pragmatic Approach for California to Provide Certainty in Determining Parentage," McGeorge Law Review (2003) exhibits Professor Miller's current interest in the subject of the legal definition of "parent." His interest in labor and employment law is exhibited by articles on the subject of wrongful termination and in his publishing with Grenig a three volume treatise entitled California Government Codes: Forms and Commentary 2nd ed. (West) in which he wrote those portions dealing with public sector labor law.
He has also served as a dispute resolution neutral in both areas of interest: as a divorce mediator and as a labor arbitrator. He is currently on the panel of arbitrators of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service and serves as hearing officer and arbitrator for both the City and the County of Los Angeles.
Formerly he served as the associate dean of the law school. He has taught several dispute resolution courses at Jones School of Law and Community Property as a visiting professor at UCLA.
He is a member of the State Bar of California and has been involved in several appeals including an automatic appeal to the California Supreme Court in a death penalty case.
