While at USC, Coleman served on the editorial staff of the South Carolina Law Review, editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy’s Symposium 2008 Issue and president of both the Christian Legal Society and the Federalist Society.

Prior to being named a partner in Greenville, Coleman was an associate in the Columbia, South Carolina, office of Nelson Mullins for seven years.

“We are always pleased when our accomplished alumni come back to campus to speak to the student body,” said BJU President Steve Pettit. “Miles’ work with the Blackstone Legal Fellowship, as well as his expertise in First Amendment law, qualifies him well to speak at the University’s 2020 commemoration of Constitution Day.”
