American Lawyer Recognizes Fisher, Lemley, and Martinez
Jeffrey L. Fisher, Mark A. Lemley (BA ’88), and Jenny S. Martinez are included on The American Lawyer’s “Fab Fifty” list of up-and-coming litigators under 45. Fisher, associate professor of law (teaching), was recognized for his numerous arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court, including two victories in 2004 that “dramatically affected the criminal justice system.” Lemley, William H. Neukom Professor of Law, was cited for his instrumental role in high-profile intellectual property cases. Lemley has represented several cuttingedge companies including Google, TiVo, Intel, and YouTube. The magazine also acknowledged Martinez, associate professor of law, for her work on behalf of Jose Padilla, a terrorist suspect who was detained and denied counsel for more than two years. Martinez fought to have Padilla’s “enemy combatant” status removed and will assist on his case when he is tried in federal district court in Miami.
