I had Professor Baude in 1985-85 for classes and was always impressed with the fact that not only was he a great teacher but he was invested in this community and worked to make it a better place. He will be missed by not only the law school but the community at large

Patrick was a great advocate and friend to those of us who love wine. I will miss hearing his careful judgements and his catholic tastes. My condolences to his family and friends --- I wish he could have been with us for many more years.

Julia, It was with great sadness that I read of Pat's death in the newspaper today. I remember the first time I met pat; he interviewed me when I applied for admission to Law School. I was very intimidated, but he did his best to put me at ease. I believe the last time I talked to him was at the retrospective of Hess v. Indiana. I was very impressed (and informed) with his summary of the case and its importance. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Greg Hess

To hear of Professor Baude's passing causes immense sadness. It was a one of kind privilege and a real treat to have been among his students. Professor Baude's masterful oratory expanded my imagination and filled my days with challenge, fascination, humor, and inspiration to learn more as a first year law student. His command of Constitutional Law was beyond astounding and humbling to students of all political and jurisprudential philosophies. Admittedly, I stopped reading my case book after the first week of Professor Baude's class simply because the words coming out of his mouth were more intelligent and enlightening. Despite his cosmopolitan experiences and intimidating knowledge, Professor Baude always greeted me in the hallways with his genuine integrity and warm Midwestern smile. Indiana Law and the world have a lost a real diamond. My condolences to Professor Baude's wife, sister, children, and grandchildren. Long live his powerful legacy in all of our hearts and minds.

Dear Julia and family, I am so sorry to hear about Patrick's passing. It was my honor to care for him. I could feel the magnitude of his personality and wish that I could have known him better. I was very impressed with him and you all. You obviously all agreed on carrying out his wishes and I know he was happy to be at home with you all. Please let the memory of him help to carry you through the sad days ahead. Most sincerely and with hugs, Julie G., St. Francis Hospital

you all have my deepest sympathies.

As have so many, I think of Pat Baude as the best teacher I had in law school. I am still grateful for his ability to make the law something real and important. I will always remember him with fondness and I send my condolences to all his family.

To Professor Baude's family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. Professor Baude taught my constitutional law course in the spring of 2001. I was deeply impressed by his command of the cases we studied. Even more, I was impressed by his unique ability, by weaving in historical and political context not presented in the casebook, to consistently offer an engaging and entertaining classroom presentation. It struck me that he was as good a storyteller as he was an educator and scholar. My life is certainly richer for having crossed paths, however briefly, with Professor Baude.

Dear Professor Lamber and family, I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I took Professor Baude's Constitutional Law course in 2000. He was a great professor, and it is difficult to imagine the law school without his presence.

Julia: We are so sorry to hear about Pat's death - you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to learn of the loss of this great man. He embodied so much of what is good and honorable in public life. He quietly served the community on the Bloomington Board of Public Safety, helping to oversee the police department. I heard one Bloomington police officer thank Pat Baude for his hard work making sure that everyone was treated fairly. Pat never failed to respond to a request from the local bar association, or local officials, for help with a program, or to solve a problem. He was of course a brilliant professor. I was lucky enough to sit at his feet. I am very sorry for Julia and the children, and all of us. Michael Hoff.

I first met Patrick when we were undergraduates at the University of Kansas. Not only was he one of the best and brightest, he was also enormous fun to be around. It was an honor to have known him.
