Winner of the 2025 Flusche & Fitzgerald Law School Scholarship!
Kayla Campbell
We’re pleased to announce the winner of the 2025 Flusche & Fitzgerald Law School Scholarship:
Kayla Campbell
Kayla will begin her first year at South Texas College of Law this fall. Her interest in becoming an attorney was sparked the summer before her last year of high school, when she worked for a criminal defense attorney in her hometown. She decided to pursue law after personally working on a case for a man accused of kidnapping a child.
“I was very hopeful we would win the case if it went to trial. Unfortunately, COVID-19 shut down the country and the court systems for several months. The client, who was an older man, was offered time served for a guilty verdict or he could remain in jail to prove his innocence. It was this case that made me want to go to law school because I felt our justice system did not provide him with the right to a speedy trial.”
She hopes to one day open her own practice, provide opportunities for her underserved community, and protect the rights of the accused so no one has to choose between pleading guilty to a crime they did not commit and keeping their freedom.
We wish Kayla the very best in her studies and future legal career.
