Professor Jeffrey L. Fisher is quoted in The Daily Journal in an article about the Supreme Court's decision to slash the punitive damages previously awarded in the Exxon Valdez case:

Stanford University law professor Jeffrey Fisher, who argued the case for the plaintiffs, said the result was a difficult ending after almost 20 years. The lower courts, he said, studied the case for many years and thought Exxon's conduct was so egregious that it warranted a substantial award.

"For the court to come in at this late hour and take a different view is tough to take," Fisher said. "I suspect there's a great deal of anger and sadness."
