About David W. Miller

The IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law is pleased to honor David Miller, a proud IU graduate with degrees from the College of Arts and Sciences and the McKinney School of Law. He met his late wife, Mindy, at IU and several generations of their families are IU graduates as well.

David is passionate about giving back to the institution that helped shape his career. He began his philanthropic journey with the university when he was a member of the IU Student Foundation. He generously supports the Speech and Hearing Program at IU Bloomington and has endowed the David W. Miller Scholarship for Wabash Graduates at IU McKinney Law.

David focused his legal career on employment and labor law and retired in 2012 from the law firm of what is now Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath. He was recognized in the Indiana Super Lawyers magazine and as one of the best lawyers in America for more than ten consecutive years. In retirement, David has returned to the classroom and is taking courses at IU Bloomington.
