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.

The University of Michigan law faculty has been saddened twice within six months by the deaths of colleagues. These events can only serve to remind us that not only are the lives of individuals transitory, but institutions also can be deeply affected by the mortality of their members.
