liability company law at continuing legal education programs. Professor Miller has been involved in the drafting of legislation
affecting Texas business organizations for many years and has served in an advisory or membership capacity on the drafting committees
for numerous prototype, model, and uniform statutes and agreements relating to unincorporated business organizations. She currently
serves as reporter for the revision of the American Bar Association’s Prototype Limited Liability Company Act, and she was among the
principal drafters of the ABA’s Prototype Limited Liability Partnership Act and Prototype Limited Liability Partnership Agreement.

Bar of Texas as well as the American Bar Association Business Law Section. She currently serves as Chair of the Partnerships and

State Bar of Texas, and she is a former chair of the Texas Partnership and Limited Liability Company Law Committee. Professor Miller is
