                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 8, 2001

  Mr. BARRETT of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to 
the work of Judge Stanley Miller. Through his service in the Milwaukee 
Courts, our city was provided with not only a fair arbitrator, but also 
a mentor who was deeply committed to improving our community.
  Judge Miller's leadership was evident from the very beginning of his 
career. While attending the University of Wisconsin Law School, Miller 
was elected the first African American president of the Student Bar 
Association.
  He went on to serve our community for more than 20 years on the 
Milwaukee Municipal Court and Milwaukee County Circuit Court. Judge 
Miller knew that justice began with equal representation of the 
community on the bench, and for this reason, he encouraged many African 
American attorneys to become judges.
  Judge Miller believed in our youth. He stressed the importance of 
preventing crime and worked tirelessly to keep kids out of the court 
system. From the bench, he urged professionals to be more vigilant of 
the needs of children, before serious problems arise.
  Through his years of work in the courts and in our community, Judge 
Miller set a high standard for those who will follow him, and he will 
be deeply missed. I join the residents of Milwaukee in extending our 
condolences to his family, and honoring this great man.
