AMICI

What is an amicus brief?

An amicus brief is submitted by a person or group not directly involved in a legal case, but is permitted to support the court by providing information, expertise, or insight relevant to the case. These briefs, known as "amici," aim to inform the court about potential public policy consequences of a ruling. They offer economic, social science, or historical viewpoints, along with technical aid or industry data crucial for the court to make well-informed judgments.
