The Arthur Liman Public Interest Program

The Arthur Liman Public Interest Program supports the work of law students, law school graduates, and students from six universities, all of whom work to respond to problems of inequality and to improve access to justice for those without resources.    

The Program funds fellowships for Yale Law School graduates to spend a year working on public interest legal issues and funds summer fellowships at six universities in social justice law. Yale Law students can assist Fellows in their work through the Liman Project and participate in the Program-sponsored Public Interest Workshop, which meets to discuss emerging issues of theory and advocacy.

Every year, the Program organizes the Public Interest Law Colloquium,  which brings together advocates, scholars, and students from across the country for a day-long discussion. The Thirteenth Annual Liman Colloquium will be held at Yale Law School on March 4 and 5, 2010.
