Miami-Dade County Court Judge Luise Krieger-Martin didn’t really plan on becoming a lawyer when she was growing up, even if she did spend much of her life bouncing around the country to places where her dad was in trial and getting tutored by her mom in hotel rooms.

“My mother would pack us up for several weeks, get our assignments from our teachers — and she was a teacher herself, by training — and we would go to Arizona, Washington, D.C., or Florida, where his case was,” she said. “My mother would make us do our work in the morning, and then we would go out and explore. It was like the 1960s version of modern home schooling.”
