For my first post, I thought I'd just give a quick roundup of why I've started this blog. For one, I have been a law clerk for many years, keeping my opinions of the law well behind the doors of the court. Now that I am in private practice, I am looking forward to sharing my opinions regarding the developing law in a space where I can interact with the legal and business community. In addition, I am interested in pursuing certain areas of the law which are not always clear cut. By following developments in both the CNMI and the United States, I am hoping to contribute to clarifying the direction that is being taken in property, construction, and corporate law by the local courts. In addition, because Commonwealth Superior Court published decisions are not available on electronic research databases, I would like to go back and start digesting what I see as some of our more important Superior Court precedent. Finally, I would like a forum to discuss new trends and happenings in the legal world as they affect the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
About Me
- Deborah E. Fisher
- I specialize in utility, procurement, energy, real property, corporate, probate, and appellate law. After becoming a member of the New York State Bar, in 1994, I spent many years as a law clerk working for judges in New York City. In 1998, I clerked for then-Presiding Judge Edward Manibusan at the Superior Court of the CNMI, and I returned in 2005 to clerk for Justice John A. Manglona at the Supreme Court of the CNMI. I opened my practice in 2007, and went in house to the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation from January, 2011 to July, 2012. I have returned to private practice and my website is linked in Local Resources if you'd like to learn more about my office (see below).
