Paul Miller, 49, a lawyer who was born with achondroplasia - dwarfism - who overcame discrimination to become a leader in the disability-rights movement, died Tuesday at his home on Mercer Island, Wash.
The cause was cancer, said his wife, Jennifer.
More than 40 times after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania and the Harvard Law School, Mr. Miller received rejection letters from law firms. One time, he said, he was told the firm feared that clients would see his hiring as a "circus freak show."
