Miller grew up in the small towns of Priest River, Idaho and Salmon, Idaho and then went to Washington State University to study English literature. There he graduated in 1991 with the grade cum laude. In 1994, he received his Juris Doctor (J.D. degree in law) and a Master of Arts degree from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

From 1999 to 2000 Miller was a fellow of the Robert Bosch Foundation. In 2002 he obtained the LLM (Master of Laws) at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. He worked as a trainee at the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe and at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg until 2002.

After his studies, Miller worked at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington and then as a lecturer at the University of Idaho in Moscow (Idaho). In 2008 he was appointed to the law school of the private Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia.
