Recollections Of Professor Bishop As A Teacher Of Teachers Of Transnational Law, Covey T. Oliver Jan 1989

Recollections Of Professor Bishop As A Teacher Of Teachers Of Transnational Law, Covey T. Oliver

Michigan Journal of International Law

It will be interesting to me to see, should this modest tribute survive editing, whether others writing in this Symposium have also chosen to single out Bill Bishop's influence on a post-World War II generation of teachers of international public law, conflict of laws, comparative public law, and admiralty: men and women who have in considerable part been led, aided, or influenced by him into one or several aspects of the global normative science, named "transnational law" by one of his own great teachers (and mine), Philip C. Jessup.' If others have also sounded this theme, reiteration of it can …


William W. Bishop, Jr.: A Great Life In The Law, Michael H. Cardozo Jan 1989

William W. Bishop, Jr.: A Great Life In The Law, Michael H. Cardozo

Michigan Journal of International Law

The career of William W. Bishop, Jr., provides a special opportunity to observe one of the ways, as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. put it, of "living greatly in the law." His accomplishments must have brought great satisfaction to him, for he was recognized worldwide as one of the leading authorities and teachers in the field of public international law. That alone bespeaks a good life in the law.


True Michiganian, Moritoshi Fukuda Jan 1989

True Michiganian, Moritoshi Fukuda

Michigan Journal of International Law

At the beginning of January, 1988, the saddest news came from Betty Bishop in her letter informing me that her father, William W. Bishop, Jr., had passed away suddenly but peacefully at his home in Ann Arbor on December 29, 1987. His last act on this earth was feeding the birds and squirrels in his snowy garden. Then he sat down on the porch and apparently was struck down by a heart attack. He was 81 years old.


Memorial To William W. Bishop, Jr., Richard B. Lillich Jan 1989

Memorial To William W. Bishop, Jr., Richard B. Lillich

Michigan Journal of International Law

Time, that everrolling stream, has taken Bill Bishop away, but his legacy will remain with us - as individuals and as a Society - forever. Many of his contemporaries and colleagues also have recorded their memories of the man. This memorialist, his collaborator on various joint ventures within and without the Society over the past decade and a half, saw Bill not so closely nor over so long a period, but from a different perspective perhaps no less worth recording.


A Tribute From A Private Practitioner, Rotraud M. Perry Jan 1989

A Tribute From A Private Practitioner, Rotraud M. Perry

Michigan Journal of International Law

William W. Bishop, Jr. was a great scholar in the field of international law, with a unique mind, an intensive understanding in his field, an industrious application to all problems which came before him, and an abiding affection for his students - which affection was reciprocated by a countless number. Year after year his voluntary international law classes had to be split in two because so many enrolled.


William W. Bishop, Jr.:My Saya, Myint Zan Jan 1989

William W. Bishop, Jr.:My Saya, Myint Zan

Michigan Journal of International Law

Bill Bishop to me was a Saya in the fullest sense of this Burmese word. Saya means a teacher who is at the same time a scholar, role model, guide, comforter, and friend. As a scholar and teacher he has imparted not only legal knowledge, but also intellectual honesty: a capacity to see and a sympathy to understand other points of view. What better role model can one give than to be a noted international legal scholar, a caring, conscientious, and affectionate person that he was? But it is in his role as a guide, comforter, and friend that he …


William W. Bishop, Jr.: A Law Teacher Whose Inward Happiness Was Reflected In His Relations With Students And Colleagues, James N. Hyde Jan 1989

William W. Bishop, Jr.: A Law Teacher Whose Inward Happiness Was Reflected In His Relations With Students And Colleagues, James N. Hyde

Michigan Journal of International Law

Bill Bishop's students and colleagues at Michigan showed their love and respect for him, which I, as a contemporary in age, shared. Like my father, Charles Cheney Hyde, I had associations with Bishop while lecturing there. Through these associations I developed my own interest in the Law School and its students. His colleague, Eric Stein, has emphasized the impact of his casebook and teaching. He refers to Bishop's "historical perspective and traditional systematic presentation, which formed the background for consideration of perpetual change," which Bishop saw and documented. In the Foreword to the Proceedings of a 1955 Summer Institute on …


Teaching Mediation As A Lawyering Role Developments, Jacqueline Nolan-Haley Jan 1989

Teaching Mediation As A Lawyering Role Developments, Jacqueline Nolan-Haley

Faculty Scholarship

The growth of the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) movement has generated an increased interest in the study and practice of mediation as a nonadversarial method of conflict resolution. With mediation, individuals settle their disputes using a neutral third party who has no power to impose a settlement. Historically, mediation has been widely neglected in legal education, and-except for those involved in the labor field-lawyers have not practiced it. Recent gains in visibility have not necessarily resulted in widespread acceptance of mediation. In fact, mediation has even been openly resisted by some members of the legal profession.
