Attorney Nicholas Miller Speaks to Supreme Court Seminar Class

Recently, Nicholas Miller was a guest lecturer for Washington Adeventist University’s (WAU) PLST 494 – Supreme Court Seminar class. Mr. Miller, a professor at the Andrews University Seminary and a practicing attorney, spent the class period discussing Mitchell v Helms, a Supreme Court case argued in 1999 that addressed whether the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act of 1981 violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.  Mr. Miller wrote the Brief on behalf of Mary Helms and was co-counsel to Lee Boothby, another Seventh-day Adventist attorney, who formally argued the case before the Court. Mr. Miller’s presentation included analysis of the case and discussion about the major Constitutional issues it addressed.
