    the liman center reports: 2020 Undaunted in Daunting Times The Arthur Liman Center for Public Interest Law at Yale Law School About the Liman Center The Arthur Liman Center for Public Interest Law promotes access to justice and the fair treatment of individuals and groups seeking to use the legal system. Through research, teaching, fellowships, and colloquia, the Liman Center supports efforts to bring about a more just legal system. Yale Law School established the Arthur Liman Public Interest Program in 1997 with the support of friends and family of Arthur Liman ’57. In 2017, the program became the Arthur Liman Center for Public Interest Law. About Arthur Liman Arthur Liman exemplified commitment to the public interest. A highly respected attorney in private practice at Paul Weiss Rifkind & Garrison, Liman devoted much of his time to public service. He was General Counsel to the special commission investigating the 1971 uprising at the New York State prison at Attica and lead counsel for the 1987 Senate investigation of the Iran-Contra affair. Thereafter, Arthur Liman continued to work for reform of the criminal legal system. He helped to establish a number of legal aid organizations, including the Legal Action Center, working to end discrimination against people who have been incarcerated and to reform drug laws. Liman also served as President of the Legal Aid Society of New York and of the Neighborhood Defender Services of Harlem, as a Trustee of the Vera Institute of Justice, and as the Chair of the New York State Capital Defender’s Office.

  • Admissions Requirements
    Admissions Requirements Academic Requirements It is recommended that students enter medical school after four years of study in a college of arts and sciences. It is recognized, however, that a few exceptional students may be ready to enter graduate study in medicine after somewhat less preparation than is required to attain a bachelor's degree. Students holding advanced degrees in science or other fields are also considered. These students must meet all of the premedical requirements specified below, and it is also recommended that they have taken some recent high-level science courses. International (other than Canadian) students must have completed at least one year of study in an American college prior to application, and premedical requirements must have been satisfied in the United States. The minimum requirements for admission to the first year class are: 1. Attendance for three academic years, or the equivalent, at an approved college of arts and sciences or institute of technology. 2. Satisfactory completion of the following courses, including laboratory work: General Biology or Zoology (2 semesters) General Chemistry (2 semesters) Organic Chemistry (1 semester) General Physics (2 semesters) Biochemistry (1 semester) These courses should be rigorous and broad in coverage, as opposed to dealing primarily with selected aspects of a discipline. The student of medicine enters a profession closely allied to the natural sciences and must be prepared to cope with chemistry and biology at a graduate level. Students who receive college acceleration credits in basic science subjects for Advanced Placement courses taken in secondary school are may substitute more advanced science courses for the traditional requirements listed above.

  • Interdisciplinary Study 1 Interdisciplinary Study
    Interdisciplinary Study 1 Interdisciplinary Study Interdisciplinary study may be undertaken by YDS students in two ways: by pursuing, concurrent with an M.Div. or M.A.R. degree from YDS, a program leading to a joint degree, granted by Yale or another university; or by taking courses in other Yale schools or departments to be credited to a single YDS degree. Joint-Degree Programs YDS encourages its students to pursue concurrent degree programs that lead to the receipt of more than one degree when such programs constitute a coherent and well-defined preparation for ministry. Students may work simultaneously toward a YDS degree and a degree in certain other Yale schools or other approved graduate programs. (See following list of approved joint-degree programs.) Additionally, students may earn joint degrees in partnership with two outside institutions: the schools of social work of the University of Connecticut and Yeshiva University. In most cases, the period of study required to complete two degrees is less (usually by one year) than would be required to complete those degrees if they were pursued independently. Applicants are encouraged to consult an admissions officer to determine whether the reduced period of study applies to the specific program(s) of interest to the applicant. The administrative officers of the schools concerned arrange assessment of tuition and other fees. Students interested in pursuing one of the joint degrees should consult with each school prior to matriculating at either school. In all cases where concurrent degrees are sought, admission to the school must be obtained through the normal admissions processes established by each school.
