Attorney General Janet Reno appointed Fiske to the position of "special prosecutor" to investigate the Whitewater controversy and the death of White House Counsel Vincent Foster in January 1994, but when Congress abolished the position of special prosecutor by passing the Independent Counsel Reauthorization Act of 1994, Fiske was removed from office and replaced by former D.C. Circuit judge Kenneth Starr. He is a partner in the law firm of Davis Polk & Wardwell in New York City.

He has a BA from Yale University (1952), where he was a member of Wolf's Head, and a JD from the University of Michigan (1955).
