American judge (born 1947)
Lindsey Gale Miller-Lerman (born July 30, 1947)[2] is a justice of the Nebraska Supreme Court , appointed by Governor Ben Nelson in 1998.[3] She is the first woman to serve on the court.[4] Miller-Lerman was retained in 2014 and 2020; her term expires in 2026.[5] [6]
Early life
[ edit ]
Miller-Lerman was born in Los Angeles , California , to father Avy Miller, an engineer who founded Laars-Engineers (which is now called Laars Heating Systems),[7] [8] and Roberta Miller (née Levey).[9]
She received a Bachelor of Arts with honors from Wellesley College [7] in 1968,[10] where she was a classmate of Hillary Clinton .[11] She and Clinton were both political science majors.[11]
After graduating from Wellesley, Miller-Lerman worked at a Cleveland legal aid clinic.[10] She obtained a Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School in 1973 and an Honorary Doctorate from the College of St. Mary in 1993.[1]
Career
[ edit ]
From 1973 to 1975, Miller-Lerman clerked for Judge Constance Baker Motley , a United States District Judge for the Southern District of New York .[12] [13] After this time, Miller-Lerman and her husband moved from New York to Nebraska.[10]
Private practice
[ edit ]
In 1976, Miller-Lerman joined the law firm of Kutak Rock & Huie, now Kutak Rock .[13] From 1976 to 1979, Miller-Lerman was an associate; from 1980 to 1992, she was a partner. She was at Kutak Rock until her appointment to the Nebraska Court of Appeals .[14] Miller-Lerman worked part-time as a partner at Kutak Rock while she raised her children.[15] This part-time agreement did not penalize Miller-Lerman's chances for promotion,[12] which Miller-Lerman credited to senior partner Bob Kutak's influence.[12] Her regular schedule was three days a week, but since Miller-Lerman specialized in litigation, her schedule was adjusted when she had cases that went to court.[12]
Judgeship
[ edit ]
In 1992, Miller-Lerman was appointed as a judge in the Nebraska Court of Appeals .[16] She was the first woman in the state to serve on a court higher than the district court. After four years on the Nebraska Court of Appeals, Miller-Lerman became Chief Judge, a position she held from 1995 to 1998.[13]
In 1998, Miller-Lerman took office as a Nebraska Supreme Court Judge for District 2, replacing retiring Judge D. Nick Caporale.[1] [17] She was retained in office in 2002 and 2008.[1]
