Rey is a proud graduate of the FIU School of Law evening program. In his last year at FIU Law, Rey was honored to represent FIU Law in a real-life hearing as part of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces’(“CAAF”) Project Outreach program. CAAF, which is the highest military appellate court in the United States was deciding the fate of a soldier who had confessed to of robbery in Iraq, but had done so after being questioned by military personnel without reading him certain rights. The Issue to be decided by the CAAF was whether the confession should have been suppressed and the defendant could be entitled to a new trial. Under the supervision of Professor Eric Carpenter, Rey wrote and submitted an amicus brief, and argued for over 10 minutes during the live session.

While attending FIU Law Rey also worked full time as a law clerk at the boutique plaintiff firm The Law Offices of Max R. Price. Even while working full time, Rey consistently made the Dean’s list, was active in many school clubs, and was elected by his peers to be the commencement speaker at the FIU Law Class of 2015 graduation ceremony.
