Stephen Zack, who heads the Miami office of Boies Schiller & Flexner, will become the first Hispanic president-elect of the American Bar Association. Few who know the affable Zack are surprised to see him break that barrier, just as 20 years ago he became the youngest and first Hispanic president of the Florida Bar. But underneath his warm exterior is a tenacious litigator who doesn't shrink from a hard fight and hasn't forgotten his past, which includes the trauma of fleeing from Cuba with his family.

The year was 1961, and young Stephen Zack was terrified.
At 13, he had been waiting with his mother and siblings to board a flight from Havana to Miami when Cuban officials called out his name from a gray metal binder. He was berated, searched and locked overnight in a dark, windowless room, wondering if he would ever see his family again.
