When he started law school, Cameron Kubly was not exactly set on becoming class valedictorian. That changed when his grades came in.

“Once I got my first semester grades and saw that I was ranked first, I started to think that it was a real possibility and tried to keep working hard to maintain that position,” he said.

Along the way, he received the highest grade in 11 classes, served as editor-in-chief of the Stetson Law Review, worked as a federal judicial extern to the Honorable Charlene Honeywell, and acted in theatre productions such as freeFall’s God Bless You Mr. Rosewater.
