Baylor Law School professor Elizabeth “Beth” Miller has been named the recipient of the American Bar Association’s (ABA) 2013 Martin I. Lubaroff Award. The annual award recognizes leadership, scholarship and outstanding service to the law of LLCs, partnerships and unincorporated business entities. She will be presented with her award on Oct. 17 in Washington, D.C.
“Baylor Law School takes pride in a faculty who are not only scholars, but also practicing attorneys who contribute meaningfully to the evolution of the law,” Baylor Law School Dean Brad Toben said in a statement issued by the school. “Rarely is there a business organizations statute passed by the Texas Legislature that does not have Professor Miller’s imprint on it.”
This is Miller’s second ABA award—in 2011, she received the Jean Allard Glass Cutter Award.
Miller, a 1985 Baylor Law School graduate, joined the faculty in 1991 after six years of private practice. She has become a nationally recognized expert in her fields and frequently speaks on topics involving corporate, partnership and limited liability company law at continuing legal education programs.
The Martin I. Lubaroff Award was established in 2001 to honor the memory of Marty Lubaroff, a longtime member of the LLCs, Partnerships and Unincorporated Entities Committee of the ABA. He was chair of the Limited Partnerships Subcommittee at the time of his death on Jan. 1, 2001.
