Brief of Amicus Curiae
The Volokh Conspiracy legal blog recently had some good posts
on amicus briefs - what they're for, and why they should be short.
Well worth reading.
Amicus Briefs -- Why File Them?
<http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_07_19-2009_07_25.shtml#1248111047>
from chapter 12.2 of Federal Appellate Practice
an amicus brief can provide...background for the issues[,]...
the views of experts[,]...the practical effects of a particular
outcome[,]...alternative legal ground for deciding the case.
...
Courts often are influenced by the practical consequences of
adopting one or another of the legal rules under consideration.
That is particularly true in “highly technical” cases in which
decisions by generalist judges may have “a tremendous impact on
people and institutions in the real world.”
Less Is More in Amicus Briefs
