A piece in the Hamilton County Herald highlights the career of recently retired Hamilton County Chancery Court Clerk and Master Robin Miller. Miller spent 12 years as clerk and master, after becoming the first woman appointed to that role. Before serving the court, her diverse background included a career as a Tennessee Department of Human Services social worker investigating cases of child abuse and neglect, and a two-decade-plus career in private practice. Miller’s time as a social worker was foundational to her legal practice and personal relationships, says former colleague and mentor Sam Elliott. “That previous experience lent her a maturity that honed her already instinctive insight into people.” Miller is succeeded by Rachael Kapperman, a staff attorney for the clerk and master’s office who has worked closely with Miller since 2016.
