Fischer was born in 1925. His university studies began with a period at the University of Paris, recorded for 1949, and continued in Zurich, where he completed a doctorate in 1952.
Fischer studied at the University of Paris, recorded for 1949. The university, centred on the Sorbonne, was reorganized as a single corporate institution in 1896 and divided into separate universities in 1970.
He completed the Doctor Juris at the University of Zurich in 1952. Founded in 1833 by the canton of Zurich, the university is one of the oldest state universities in Switzerland, and the Doctor Juris is the doctoral degree in law awarded by Swiss law faculties.
Fischer worked as a partner of Law Offices, a law practice with its address at Dufourstrasse 56 in Zurich.
Swiss lawyers are admitted to practice by cantonal authorities, so a Zurich practice operated within the legal system of the canton of Zurich. Partnership in a law office involved joint responsibility for the firm's legal practice alongside other partners.
