Attorneys
Scott Daubenspeck enjoys complicated cases. A hobbyist philosopher and intellectual historian, he cultivated the archaic skills of logic and rhetoric while studying religion and literature at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. After an Americorps term in Greensboro and a brief taste of the academic life in Syracuse, NY, Scott returned to his hometown of Raleigh to try his hand at legal work, hoping to wring a living out of reading, writing, and thinking. He worked as a paralegal for six years before he decided to plunge into law school.
At Campbell Law, Scott joined the law review, first as a member and then serving as Chief Articles Editor. His Comment on the policy implications of wage imputation doctrine in child support cases was published in the Fall 2024 issue: Are Parents More Than Money?. He also served as a TA for 1L Contracts and worked as a student assistant for the Antitrust Law Journal, first alongside fellow Hartzog associate Maddie Bruckel as a 2L and then as the Student Team Lead in his 3L year. Scott ended his time at law school by externing in the chambers of North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Anita Earls, where he learned by taking on the most difficult civil cases he could.
Scott was a summer associate at Hartzog Law Group in 2024 before joining full-time after graduating summa cum laude at the top of his class. When he is not consumed with thinking about actual cases, Scott still reads for fun: philosophy, theology, history, psychology, politics, etc. He can also be found cooking with his wife, Kelly, running long distances, biking short distances, and playing the guitar badly.
