There were times in 2012 when it seemed like Timothy S. Fisher was involved in just about every issue of importance to the Connecticut judicial system. From chairing a committee on judges’ salaries to authoring an amicus brief that challenged the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, the McCarter & English partner had a busy year.

Perhaps most notable is his work with the once low-profile Connecticut Bar Foundation, which has been in existence for over half a century and since the 1980′s raised money for legal aid agencies that provide services for low-income clients. This year, as president, Fisher pushed the organization in several new directions.
