Dear Sirs:

     In connection with the public offering of shares of beneficial
interest, $.01 par value, of Dean Witter Variable Investment Series
(the "Fund"), I have examined such corporate records and documents
and have made such further investigation and examination as I have
deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion.

     It is my opinion, as Legal Counsel for the Fund, that the
Fund is an unincorporated business trust duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the State of Massachusetts and
that the shares of beneficial interest covered by the Rule 24f-2 
Notice, January 27, 1994 (File No. 2-82510 and 811-3692), were
issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the offering,
as set forth in the prospectus filed as part of the Registration
Statement, as amended, of the Fund and were legally issued, fully
paid and non-assessable by the Fund.

     I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2.   In giving this consent, I
do not thereby admit that I am within the category of persons whose
consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the rules and requisitions of the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder.



                                        Very truly yours,
                                      

                                    /s/ Sheldon Curtis

                                        Sheldon Curtis
                                        General Counsel
