State Representative Tanya F. Miller of Atlanta has been inducted into the American College of Trial Lawyers (ACTL) during its annual meeting held in Nashville, Tennessee. The ACTL represents the top one percent of trial lawyers across North America and is committed to upholding excellence in advocacy, ethics, and professionalism within the legal sector.

“It is an honor to be inducted into the American College of Trial Lawyers,” said Rep. Miller. “Being in the company of such influential figures in the legal profession is incredibly humbling. As a former state and federal prosecutor and civil rights lawyer, I have always been committed to advocating for justice. Now, as the state representative for Georgia’s House District 62, I remain focused on advancing laws and policies that protect the rights of my constituents and uphold the rule of law—principles that align with the values the College stands for.”

Rep. Miller joins an esteemed group of fellows which includes Thurgood Marshall, Sandra Day O’Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Robert Mueller, David Boies, and Griffin Bell.

The ACTL not only promotes excellence in trial advocacy but also engages in charitable activities to support justice administration. Through its Emil Gumpert Award, it funds projects aimed at improving access to legal systems so that all citizens can seek justice. Established in 1950, this organization seeks to enhance standards of trial practice while maintaining professionalism and ethics within the legal field. With over 5,000 members across the U.S. and Canada, membership is extended by invitation to those who meet its rigorous standards.
