Mark Miller

Mark is a Senior Attorney with Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), the nation's preeminent public-interest non-profit organization dedicated to the Constitution, liberty, and individual rights. He leads PLF's housing production initiative, a policy, litigation, scholarship, and research-focused effort designed to demonstrate that respecting private property rights and the free market will solve the housing cost crisis.

Mark is also the chairman of the board for Americans United for Life, the nation's first pro-life non-profit organization and the legal architect of the incremental strategy post-Casey that ultimately took down Roe.

Earlier in his career, Mark served as general counsel and then chief of staff for South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. As Governor Noem’s longest-serving chief of staff, Mark worked behind the scenes to promote smaller government, cut red tape, defend individual rights, protect liberty, and advance free-market principles. In addition to serving as Governor Noem's general counsel and chief of staff, Mark also served as the chair of the State of South Dakota's Social Studies Standards Commission. There he worked with his fellow commissioners over two years to successfully implement standards for civics and history that were recognized by a non-partisan group of national education experts as "standards that will put South Dakota at the forefront of what we know will work for children." 

Mark frequently writes and appears in print, on radio and TV, before state legislative committees, and in other public settings. He has been published in The Wall Street Journal, and his PLF work has been featured on CBS News, ABC’s The View, CBN, and Fox News. He regularly appears on SixriusXM’s Laura Coates' show as a Supreme Court commentator.  

Mark attended college and law school at the University of Florida, earning both degrees with honors. He elbow-clerked for U.S. District Judge Henry Lee Adams, Jr., and Florida state appellate court Judge Emerson R. Thompson, Jr.  

Mark has participated in a number of Fed Soc debates on law school campuses across the country over the years, debating property rights, environmental law, criminal justice reform, free speech, and abortion, among other topics.
