Lynn A. Stout

God bless Lynn in Heaven! She is a wonderful person. Deepest condolences to all her loved ones. I've just watched her Requiem Mass at Trinity Church Wall Street online--very moving and beautiful.

I knew Lynn as a rider -- we were on the Princeton University Equestrian Team together back in the day. Great times riding and competing together. Very saddened to learn of the death of my classmate and fellow equestrian.

Our family is shocked and saddened to learn of Lynn's passing. We didn't even know she was ill. I can only imagine that she fought hard and took this cancer on like a tiger. Lynn was such a force; brilliant, ebullient and hard working with the highest of ethical morals. She was pure pleasure to be with and we so enjoyed our family dinners together as her kids and ours are the same age. Lynn was a big hiker but she indulged me with fun walks (and talks) to the Santa Monica Pier. I...

I found out by accident that Lynn Stout had passed away, and am still struggling for the right words - I didn't know her well, but as a former Georgetown student of hers, I can say honestly that she was THE most influential teacher I had. She was brilliant and energetic, open and motivating. When I finally had the chance to invite her as a speaker for an event twenty years later, she was just the same - as well as fun! The world has lost a bright light. All my condolences to her family.

May your memories keep Lynn her in your hearts, and thoughts of her comfort you. May you find some peace from the words at Hosea 13:14. Please accept my condolences for your loss.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Lynn for over twenty-five years from our early days in Washington D.C. She was an important progressive corporate law scholar who challenged neoclassical economic scholars on their own turf. She was brilliant, energetic and dedicated to her scholarship. Her passing is a great loss to the corporate governance community. I have valued my interactions with her over the years at various conferences and at my home and our mutual support of each others...

This was one of the most insightful and courageous of law professors. Her passing increases the burden on those arguing for reform of corporate governance and reform of the role of derivatives in financial institutions. All my sympathies to the friends and family of Lynn Stout. -- Walker Todd, Chagrin Falls, Ohio

This was most unfortunate and surprising news. I had an enormous amount of respect for Lynn and her views,even though we were more often than not arguing the opposite sides of the stakeholder/shareholder primacy and activism issues. We enjoyed critiquing each others views on several panels together and I will miss her intellect and good sense of humor and desire to do the right thing. Condolences to Lynn's family and other friends

Lynn was the best friend anyone could imagine. She spoke of her friends so lovingly, and even through her struggle was focused on each one of them. She mentioned a few times that she'd lived a full life, and was grateful for this "wonderful world." We accomplished some bucket list things she had, and I'm eternally grateful for our unforgettable times together. We called each other "sis" without even thinking. Knowing Lynn for close to 20 years, I can easily say there wasn't a finer person. I...
