Impressment – the forceful enlistment of a person for service as a sailor; the British captured and impressed many American sailors to serve the king, where many died, leaving their…

lawyer; if you were a good student in high school or a bad student in high school, you can understand this. And it’s really incredible to me that we have a court case that’s going on so long. As you know, in Boston, we won it with a highly respected judge and a very strong opinion, but now we’re in an era that, let’s just say, they are interpreting things differently than probably 100 percent of the people in this room.
