Amicus brief

The American Judicature Society seldom files or joins amicus briefs but will do so when the Society may be able to present arguments more effectively than the parties on positions previously approved by the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee. A request to file or join an amicus brief can only be considered if there is sufficient time for the Society to obtain outside, pro bono counsel and to comply with the approval and review process. Inquiries about amicus briefs may be made to the staff liaison at cgray@ajs.orgClick here to see the AJS Amicus Brief Policy.
