In Fisher esterification, sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst and its function is to convert the carboxylic compound in its conjugate acid. This favours the nucleophilic attack of the alcohol. To act as a catalyst you need a strong acid, therefore sulphuric acid is suitable for this kind of reaction.
