When Justin Rundle was Tamara Lave’s student at the University of Miami law school, the professor had no idea he was the son of one of the most powerful attorneys in South Florida, State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle.

“I don’t think anyone knew,” Lave said. “I had taught him criminal procedure, and he never brought it up—ever. Some people are humble, and some people are false. He loves his mom, but he clearly wants to be his own person and doesn’t want to take advantage of the relationship.”
