An inspired student's story

By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel

ADVERTISEMENTS

Here is my nomination for one of the most determined and resilient law students ever: Steve Spence.

Spence (age 54) made a daily trip of 294 miles from the West coast of Florida to Miami every day to attend law school.  He had to commute because he could not move his family -- his wife is disabled and they care for his elderly parents -- his father has Alzheimer's and his mother has had several strokes.

From having him in class I can attest that he is a good student and a good person.  His wife calls him "Superman" and who am I to disagree.
