Welcome back to America's leading higher education law podcast, EdUp Legal - part of the EdUp Experience Podcast Network!

In this episode, we welcome Lee Fisher, who serves as Dean and Joseph C. Hostetler BakerHostetler Chair in Law at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law at Cleveland State University, a position he has held since 2017. Dean Fisher shares with us his unusual path to the deanship, from being Ohio Attorney General from 1991 to 1995, to serving as Ohio Lieutenant Governor; Director of the Ohio Department of Development, State Senator; and State Representative, among other positions. He shares that although he has loved every position in his career, his favorite is being a dean because in working with students, he feels he has found the fountain of youth.

Dean Fisher shares the three most serious challenges he has faced or is facing during his deanship at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. They include unrealized merger discussions with the University of Akron Law School; being reported by the ABA as out of compliance due to financial concerns related to additional staff hiring, something that has since been rectified; and a petition to change the name of the law school. He shares how this name change came about, and the serious work that has been done to ensure that everyone has a seat at the table, from students to faculty to alumni. He shares how taking this approach assures that everyone’s voices are heard, and that such stakeholder inclusion is demonstrative of his approach to leadership, and consistent with what he teaches law students about leadership.
