Elizabeth Fisher is a senior attorney in the California Regional Office.

Elizabeth is a beach lover who brings tri-coastal environmental law experience to Earthjustice — from fighting to preserve the right of North Carolinians to access the State’s dry-sand beaches, to protecting Mississippi’s unique estuarine bayous from stormwater pollution, to advocating for adequate water flows for Steelhead migration to and from the Pacific Ocean.

She began her environmental law career as a student-attorney with the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic and acquired a diverse set of professional experiences with state and federal governments and judiciaries, a private public-interest firm, and non-profit organizations.

Prior to Earthjustice, Elizabeth’s practice focused on oil and gas litigation with Santa Barbara’s Environmental Defense Center.
