Professor Miller began his legal career in the late 1960s as an associate in a Boston law firm, practicing business and finance law. In the early 1970s he joined the new Environmental Protection Agency in its Boston regional office as an enforcement official, later moving to EPA's headquarters in Washington, DC, to head its water pollution permitting and enforcement program, to begin its hazardous waste enforcement program, and ultimately to head its national enforcement program. After a decade at EPA, he became a partner in a Washington, DC, law firm, practicing environmental law and representing corporate, non-profit, and governmental clients. Professor Miller joined the Pace Law School faculty in 1987, teaching torts, constitutional law, criminal law/legal writing, and over a dozen environmental law courses. He has lectured, taught, and consulted on environmental law throughout the country and in half a dozen foreign countries.

Professor Miller served as James D. Hopkins Chair in Law during the 1999–2001 academic years.
