He later returned to Yale, and then became Dean of the Stanford Law School. He published pioneering work on corporate law and legal ethics. Manning coined the term “intermestic” to describe the growth of issues that crossed traditional foreign and domestic policy lines.

I had him for Business Organizations and I think one other class. He had a unique way to boil everything down to the essence to force you to concentrate on the important aspects of a case and not get sidetracked with peripheral issues. I particularly remember one class where we had been studying debentures. He brought in a real debenture to show the class- it had to be 400 pages and he then asked me what the 5 most important pages would be in the debenture. I had absolutely no idea how to answer but knew his wry sense of humor had to have something to do with it so I answered "those are the pages that state how and when the money changes hands." He laughed and said "exactly right and don't you ever forget it." I got an A in the class and I think that stab in the dark answer helped. I am also forever grateful that when I ran out of money in our first semester and went to his office to say I had to leave the school because of it he said "I will not stand for that " and 3 days later I had a scholarship from OMelveney & Myers in LA. It saved my legal education and career. Finally, who will ever forget the "bathtub" Porsche that Bay drove (dare I say careened) around in during his deanship. He was one of those people who leave you with lasting memories- and not just of the same kind as this tribute hopes to suggest. May God bless Bayless and take good care of him and may God be prepared for some interesting conversations! My condolences to his family. With the greatest fondness and respect.
