Asking the Right Questions: How Jill Fisch Debunks Narratives and Arrives at Solutions

Without a doubt, Professor Jill E. Fisch is one of the most influential scholars in the corporate and securities law space. Whether we measure her contributions by awards, areas of influence, or volume, Professor Fisch’s work is at the top of the list. It is, indeed, no surprise that the Institute for Law and Economic Policy (ILEP) chose to honor Professor Fisch at this year’s corporate and securities symposium, hosted with the University of Pennsylvania Journal of Business Law. I am honored to write this introduction about Professor Fisch and explore her work and influence over time, with an emphasis on the connection between her work and corporate governance writ large.
