Dean Lee Fisher  Featured in Cleveland Magazine
 
Dean and Joseph C. Hostetler - BakerHostetler Chair in Law Lee Fisher was recently profiled by  Cleveland Magazine on his new position at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.   The article also looked at the benefits of a C|M|LAW legal education. 

In the article, Fisher explained when he realized C|M|LAW was the place he wanted to be.

Fisher began as interim dean in June 2016, when the school was relatively quiet. He was enjoying the new job well enough. But when students and faculty returned for the fall term, he experienced a new level of fulfillment he hadn't initially realized when he took the job. "Within 30 days after the students arrived, I knew this was where I wanted to be," he says. 

Fisher also wrote an article for the magazine based on "Finding the Future" of Cleveland.
