                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 12, 2008

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
express my pride in former staffer Evan Miller upon her graduation, 
magna cum laude, from the T.C. Williams School of Law at the University 
of Richmond.
  Ms. Miller grew up in Sanger, California, and graduated from Sanger 
High School in 1998. She attended University of California, San Diego, 
and, upon graduation in 2002, worked closely with constituents in my 
Fresno district office from July through December 2002. Ms. Miller then 
moved to Washington, DC, and served as staff assistant, administrative 
assistant, and legislative assistant, and left to attend law school at 
the University of Richmond in 2005.
  Ms. Miller contributed to the office through her legislative work in 
the areas of health care, transportation, appropriations, education, 
and judiciary issues. In addition to legislative responsibilities, Ms. 
Miller was active in the California State Society and was crowned the 
Cherry Blossom Princess for the 19th district of California in the 
annual Cherry Blossom Festival competition.
  Ms. Miller was an extremely active member of her law school class and 
received many accolades and honors due to her diligence, intellect, and 
enthusiasm. She was the editor-in-chief of the University of Richmond 
Law Review, and a member of the Honor Council, McNeill Law Society, and 
Christian Legal Fellowship. In addition, she served as the University 
of Richmond Federalist Society Vice President. Another significant 
accomplishment by Ms. Miller included being one of two winners in the 
2006 Carrico Moot Court Competition.
  At her May 2008 graduation, Ms. Miller received the Charles T. Norman 
Award, given to the best all-around graduating student. Additionally, 
she was awarded the T.C. Williams Law School Scholarship Award, which 
is given to the student who made the most significant contribution to 
overall legal scholarship.
  Ms. Miller received a competitive and prestigious position to clerk 
for Judge James R. Spencer, Chief Judge of the Eastern District of 
Virginia in Richmond. She will begin the one-year clerkship beginning 
in August 2008.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend and congratulate Evan Miller 
on her graduation from the T.C. Williams School of Law at the 
University of Richmond. I invite my colleagues to join me in wishing 
Ms. Miller success in her future endeavors. I am certain that her 
judicial career will allow her to continue the significant achievements 
she has worked toward for public policy in my office as well as in her 
own legal work thus far. I truly believe Ms. Miller's character, work 
ethic, and values will recommend her for positions of influence for the 
rest of her life.
