Arthur Liman Public Interest Awards

The Arthur Liman Public Interest Awards were established in 1998 to honor the memory of Arthur L. Liman, LAC’s co-founder and Board Chair for 25 years. The awards acknowledge superior achievements in addressing issues at the core of LAC’s mission—alcohol/drug addiction, HIV/AIDS, and criminal justice. The Liman Awards are presented at LAC's annual benefit, which raises money to support the work of the Legal Action Center and its Arthur Liman Policy Institute.
