Lillian S. Fisher Prize in Environmental Law and Public Policy
Awarded by the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy with support from the James E. Rogers College of Law
About the Prize
The Lillian S. Fisher Prize in Environmental Law and Public Policy was established through an initial endowment by former Pima County Superior Court Judge Lillian S. Fisher (see Arizona Daily Star feature article about Judge Fisher here).
The award is presented annually by the Udall Center to a student in the UA James E. Rogers College of Law or to a UA graduate student studying law and public policy for an essay addressing an environmental law or public policy topic. The competition is judged each year by faculty in the law college. A list of Fisher Prize winners appears below.
