ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

REMEMBERING JAMES ``JIM'' MILLIMAN
Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, today we honor the life and legacy of a great Kentuckian, James ``Jim'' Milliman. Jim was born October 29, 1942, in Norwalk, OH. He led a life of faith, passion for the law, and an unmatched enthusiasm for Notre Dame football. Jim attended Notre Dame, then earned his law degree from the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law, which is where he would embark on a brilliant career as a lawyer.
Jim began his legal career at Middleton-Reutlinger Law firm, where he most notably appeared in the U.S. Supreme Court confirming his defendant's constitutional right to a speedy trial. He would continue his work fighting for the little guy always advocating for equal justice under the law. After a long successful tenure practicing law, Jim shifted to being my State director. With Jim's guidance, my staff and I have been able to fight for Kentuckians in Washington and throughout the State. The feats we have accomplished would not have been possible without the mentorship of Jim Milliman.
Jim passed January 5, 2021. A true testament to his impact on people, Jim's eulogy was not given by any of his law partners, business, or political friends--he had plenty--but by Muhammed Lasege, a former University of Louisville basketball star from Nigeria whose college career was cut short due to eligibility issues. A successful businessman himself, he told the story of how Jim provided guidance and hope when his basketball dreams were crushed. He described their relationship of a father-son bond, despite the fact that Jim never had a son and Muhammed never knew his father.
While our hearts are heavy acknowledging Jim's passing, we reminisce with great joy remembering all our accomplishments, but most of all our friendship. May Jim Milliman rest in peace.
