Early on a June morning in 1974, I arrived at my summer clerkship with a Savannah law firm, having just completed my first year of law school. I was assigned to the partner in the firm who was in charge of the maritime department. He had an assignment for me. I was to draft a memorandum on wrongful arrest. "Wrongful arrest of what," I inquired. I had no idea at the time that ships could be arrested. I worked diligently for almost two days on the project, produced a legal memorandum three-quarters of a page long, and got the answer wrong. It was an inauspicious beginning to my forty year career as a maritime lawyer. But it was also my first exposure to a practice I came to enjoy immensely.
