Lila Miller is a Partner at Relman Colfax PLLC, a national civil rights law firm based in Washington D.C. In her civil rights litigation practice, Lila works on a variety of cases involving discrimination.

Much of Lila’s work has focused on eliminating race- and disability-based discrimination in housing, including cases challenging such discriminatory lending practices by banks and exclusionary zoning by municipalities. For example, Lila has led two cases challenging municipalities’ exclusion of housing for people in recovery from substance use disorder. Lila has also served as counsel to individuals and non-profits challenging tenant screening practices that disproportionately exclude minority and women applicants.

Prior to joining the firm, Lila clerked for Judge Jane Branstetter Stranch on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and for Judge Kevin H. Sharp on the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. She also litigated individual and class action employment discrimination cases for plaintiff-side firms.

Lila graduated from Stanford Law School, where she received the Deborah L. Rhode Public Interest Award in recognition of outstanding public service.
