Judge Kenneth R. Fisher: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

NY Bar #: 2188480 (02/29/1988)

Biography

The Hon. Kenneth R. Fisher (Ret.) was a Justice of the Monroe County Supreme Court in the Seventh Judicial District of New York. He came to the Supreme Court bench by appointment from former Governor George Pataki in June 1995 and was then elected to the seat the following November. Fisher was subsequently re-elected to the post in 2009. Fisher retired from the bench ahead of the 2022 end-date of his second term.


During his tenure as a Justice of the Supreme Court, Fisher was appointed by the Hon. Thomas VanStrydonck, former Administrative Judge of the Seventh District, to serve as a judge for the New York State Commercial Division for the District in 2005.


He is a registered Republican.


Fisher graduated with his B.A. in political economics from Williams College in 1974. He went on to earn his J.D. from Vermont Law School in 1977.


After graduating from law school, he accepted a position as an assistant district attorney with the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office. Four years later, after the D.A.’s office became involved in several high-profile organized crime cases stemming from local mob wars, Fisher was loaned out to the Department of Justice Strike Force to serve as a special assistant U.S. Attorney with its Organized Crime and Racketeering Division. During that same time, he also worked on loan as special counsel to the Steuben County District Attorney’s Office to help prosecute a case involving two state troopers who were shot while conducting surveillance during a narcotics sting.


Fisher left the D.A.’s office in 1984 to join the Monroe County Law Department, where he spent the next four years working as a deputy county attorney.


Then, in 1988, he was selected to serve as a U.S. Magistrate Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York. Fisher remained on the federal bench until his election to the state Supreme Court in 1995.


Fisher, who grew up in Penn Yan, New York, near Keuka Lake, enjoys participating in various water sports such as skiing and sailboat racing. While on the bench, he resided in Irondequoit, New York.
