Yale University honored Liman, an alum, with the Arthur Liman Public Interest Fellowship and Fund. The fellowship supports the work of Yale law students and graduates advocating on behalf of those underserved or underrepresented in civil and criminal law.

According to Yale's website, "The Arthur Liman Public Interest Fellowship and Fund is a leading voice in public interest law as it focuses on developing innovative responses to an array of problems related to access to justice. The program began in 1997 and funded one law school graduate to work for a year and supported a few undergraduates from Harvard's Phillips Brooks House to spend a summer involved in public interest law."

Liman was the father of three children, including director Doug Liman.
