Fellowships
LAPA names 2009 Arthur Liman Fellows
Two Princeton graduate students, five undergraduates selected
The Princeton University Program in Law and Public Affairs (LAPA) is pleased to announce the selection of its 2009 Arthur Liman Fellows in Public Interest Law. The Liman Program enables Princeton students to spend 10 weeks during the upcoming summer in an internship serving the needs of people and causes that might otherwise go unrepresented.
The five undergraduates and two graduate students, selected through a competitive application process, will begin their program by participating in the Twelfth Annual Liman Public Interest Program Colloquium at Yale Law School on March 5-6. They will join advocates, scholars, government officials and fellows from the five other participating schools to for this year's special program celebrating "Forty Years of Clinical Education at Yale: Generating Rights, Remedies, and Legal Services."
The 2009 Liman Fellows, comprising the fifth annual class at Princeton University, are:
The Liman Fellows Program was created by the Liman Family Foundation in honor of Arthur Liman's long and distinguished career in public interest law. It was established at Princeton through the generosity of Emily Liman '85. Based at Yale Law School where Arthur Liman had been a student, the program also has undergraduate fellows at Barnard, Brown, Harvard, Spelman, and Yale. Princeton is the only university to have a Liman Fellows Program for graduate students.
