Manne, Henry Girard was born on May 10, 1928 in New Orleans. Son of Geoffrey and Eva (Shainberg) Manne.
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Manne held a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Vanderbilt University (1950), Juris Doctor from the University of Chicago (1952), Master of Laws from Yale University (1953), Juris Scientiae Doctor from Yale University (1966), Doctor of Laws from Seattle University (1987), Doctor of Laws from the Universidad Francisco Marroquin in Guatemala (1987) and Doctor of Laws from George Mason University (1998). Manne received a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, in Economics in 1950 at Vanderbilt University, his Juris Doctor at the University of Chicago Law School in 1952 and his Master of Laws (1953) and South.J.D. at Yale Law School in 1966.
He was Dean Emeritus of the George Mason University School of Law. The national Manne Moot Court Competition for Law & Economics, where law students from around the country have an opportunity to make legal and economic arguments on the merits of a complex policy problem, and the Manne Program in Law and Economics Studies of the George Mason Law School"s Law and Economics Center are named for him. He received honorary doctorates in law from Seattle University, Universidad Francisco Maraquin (Guatemala), and George Mason University.
He was Dean Emeritus and University Professor Emeritus at the George Mason University School of Law, where he was Dean from 1986–1996 and University Professor from 1986 to 1999.
He had also taught at Saint Louis University, the University of Wisconsin, George Washington University, the University of Rochester, University of Miami and Emory University. He was Distinguished Visiting Professor at Avenue Maria Law School in Naples, Florida.
Professor Manne published many books and articles, with emphasis on law and economics, the free market, and securities regulation. His development of the theory of a "market for corporate control" is credited with opening the entire field of corporate law to economic analysis, and his 1966 book, Insider Trading and the Stock Market, began, and still heavily influences, the vast literature on that subject.
He was a frequent contributor to the Wall Street Journal.
The Liberty Fund, of Indianapolis, Indiana, recently published The Collected Works of Manne in three volumes. Among his notable educational innovations are the Law and Economics Center (LEC), the first academic center devoted to the development of the field of Law and Economics (presently part of the George Mason University School of Law). The Economics Institutes for Law Professors.
The Law Institutes for Economists.
The Economics Institutes for Federal Judges. The first specialized law degree program for Doctors of Philosophy in economics.
And the first law school (George Mason) whose curriculum was built around the use of economics in law.
