well so starting in 2014 and over the

years some colleagues of mine and I

started going to the Nassau Bahamas to

the law school there to do these

teaching programs with professors it’s a

lot of fun you know we don’t get paid

anything we just do it because it’s fun

to go there and meet people learn about

different systems go to the Bahamas and

then we met lawyers there and everything

and their system is different it’s based

on the British common law system much

like you might see in England and then

you know I just thought of the idea that

there must be Americans who go on

vacation there and get locked up or get

in trouble and stuck in the jail there

so we just made some connections there

and just you know put it out there that

we could we have connections that could

help someone in that position because

you’re figuring you know if your kid got

in trouble and locked up in the

Caribbean it’s going to be awkward for

you to to find a lawyer there but it

would be better if you knew someone with

connections that could go there visit

the person figure out how to get them

out so that was the general idea behind

it
