	Amicus curiae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amicus curiae (plural amici curiae) is a legal Latin phrase, literally translated as "friend of the court," that refers to someone, not a party to a case, who volunteers to offer information on a point of law or some other aspect of the case to assist the court in deciding a matter before it.
		In the United States, Federal courts often hear cases involving the constitutionality of state laws: other states may file briefs as amici curiae when their laws are likely to be affected.
		Amici curiae that do not file briefs often present an academic perspective on the case.

	Ashland brief
		Amici believe that the principles that govern the attribution of causation in medical matters should be, can be, and to a considerable extent are, as scientific as any application of these same principles to "Newtonian science" (a term used in the Dennis opinion, Moore v.
		Amici further believe that the decision of the District Judge Milloy to exclude testimony of Dr. Jenkins in the above case was well within the scope of the guidelines enunciated by the United States Supreme Court in Daubert and further endorsed and explained by the Supreme Court in General Electric Co. v.
		Amici refrain from commenting in more detail on this reference, which seems to them taken out of its context by Judge Dennis, because they understand that Professor Feinstein is presenting his own views to the court in a separate amicus curiae brief.

		Amici are law professors with extensive experience in the study of constitutional law, the history of the Fourteenth Amendment and the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
		Amici have no personal interest in the outcome of this litigation, but are deeply concerned with the development of jurisprudence regarding the respective roles played by the coordinate branches of federal government in protecting the civil rights of the people of the United States.
		Amici are also concerned as scholars and citizens with the role of the federal government in the correction of State discrimination against certain classes of people, and the doctrinal resolution of tension between federal power and state sovereignty in this area.

	Dickerson v. United States of America
		Amici are national and state professional associations representing the interests of law enforcement agencies at the state and local levels.
		Amici submit that the adoption of state legislative provisions and state supreme court procedural rules similar to § 3501 will further the general movement of this Court and others for exclusionary rule reform in the area of not only fifth amendment and sixth amendment issues, but fourth amendment issues as well.
		Amici urge this Court to uphold the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 3501 on the basis of its post-Miranda precedents and sound judicial policy.

	Project DIANA : Doe v. Karadzic : Brief Amici Curiae from Alliances..
		Since this issue is amply briefed by the appellants and other amici, this brief is submitted to emphasize the significance of the district court's dismissal for the rights of the women plaintiffs and the women victims and survivors who are among the members of their class.
		Accordingly, amici submit this brief to underscore the significance of this case for women and the necessity of reversing the district court in order to avert impunity and to provide the abused women, as well as other victims and survivors, with fullest possible vindication of their terrible suffering and losses.
		Amici stress the importance of vindication and redress particularly for women given the historic failure to punish crimes against women and the profound importance of recognizing the egregiousness of these offenses to the long process of personal healing and reconstruction.

		Third, the Amici are experienced in and have been committed to furthering their interests by filing amicus briefs in other cases that have dealt with issues similar to those raised in this litigation.
		The Amici wish to highlight the significance of the Nuremberg prosecutions in the context of the "implied waiver" argument, and in so doing, to demonstrate that under these circumstances, the courts of this nation are not closed to an American citizen who has been lawlessly-victimized by a foreign state.
		The Amici adopt the Statement in the Petition for Writ of Certiorari.

	SFGov: Office of the City Attorney: Brief of Amici Curiae in Support of City of Tacoma

		In addition, amici believe that the sheer volume of legal errors in the Court of Appeals decision, combined with the powerful and widespread impact these errors are having on local communities, enhance the need for Supreme Court review.
		Amici believe that requiring maps showing where facilities are located, and requiring assurances that the construction will be performed in a safe and reliable manner or requesting information about past construction problems are consistent with prudent right-of-way management.

	Decision on the Interlocutory Appeal by the Amici Curiae Against the Trial Chamber Order Concerning the Presentation ...
		The Accused requested a continuance of over two years to prepare his defence, pointing to the fact that he is conducting his own defence, the complexity of the case, a large number of witnesses he anticipated to present, and the extensive material disclosed by the Prosecution which he must examine.
		The amici also argue that the Trial Chamber erred in relying on the fact that the Accused is assisted by two legal assistants, because it did not consider any evidence as to the nature and extent of that support.
		It is proposed to consider the question in relation to (a) the amici curiae, (b) the accused acting by himself, and (c) the accused acting through the amici curiae as counsel.

	Amici Curiae and Strategic Behavior in State Supreme Courts — www.greenwood.com
		Comparato answers these questions by employing strategic theories of judicial and group behavior, with groups motivated by the attainment of policy and group maintenance, and state supreme court justices motivated by policy and the continued maintenance of their position on the court.
		In order to answer these questions, Comparto analyzes litigant and amicus curiae briefs as well as judicial decisions from seven state supreme courts to evaluate the effects of state-level institutions on the types of information provided to state supreme court justices, and how those justices respond to that information.
		There is also support for the expectation that the information provided by litigants and amici, as well as the retention method, have a direct impact on the decision-making of justices.

		This brief is filed on behalf of individuals granted amici curiae status by the Trial Court and allowed to participate in the proceedings in that court.
		The record establishes that the Amici represent the vast majority of birth parents and that Plaintiffs’ desire to conceal their identities from their children is shared by, at most, a very small minority of birth parents.
		Likewise, the 15 Amici who are adoptive parents support the right of their children to know the identities of their birth parents and to see the records of their adoptions.

		Amici urge this Court to recognize the breadth of the harms the public will suffer if the CTEA is not found unconstitutional and to reaffirm the Framer's intent for Congress to promote the public's interest through balanced copyright law.

	26 Arts, Broadcast, Library, Museum and Publishing Amici Curiae
		The rights of amici and their members and supporters, be they author, poet, novelist, artist, museum curator, librarian, public broadcaster, or other professional, to present the public with a broad range of viewpoints serve as a cornerstone of our nation's most fundamental freedoms.
		Amici are concerned that if government officials are permitted to grant or withhold government benefits on the basis of an applicant's viewpoint, the diversity of perspective and the "free play of the spirit" which all who deal with words or images "ought especially to cultivate and practice," will be stifled.
		It is this process, which occurs through the arts as well as through economic and political discourse, that the government should support; the government should not attempt to support or enforce a particular outcome of free exchange of ideas that identify the hallmark of democracy.

	INTERESTS OF THE AMICI CURIAE
		The amici curiae are journalism membership and trade associations, online publications, and academic institutions which are concerned that the District Court’s opinion, should it be affirmed, will significantly chill freedom of the online press by stifling one of its important features, linking.
		Amici curiae are keenly aware that this case presents the issue of linking liability for the first time and that this holding may be the model for how future courts consider freedom of the online press hereafter.
		Amici curiae urge that this court honor the Supreme Court’s endorsement of the World Wide Web as a "dynamic, multifaceted, category of communication" and exercise extreme caution so that the still-evolving field of online journalism is not substantially hindered at this critical stage in its development.

		Rather the case presents the issue of whether it is constitutionally permissible to make a teacher a scapegoat or fire her for using a particular teaching technique that she had used for years, without first putting her on notice that use of that method is no longer permitted.

		The note also identifies the mechanisms that may be used to establish criteria to ensure amicus briefs promote predictability and procedural fairness in WTO dispute settlement.
		From a legal perspective this explanation is neither entirely satisfactory nor convincing, raising questions concerning the manner in which the Appellate Body exercises the authority vested in it by the Members.
		However, the decision also raises questions concerning the scope of the Appellate Body's review powers, the manner in which GATT Article XX(g) and chapeau should be interpreted, the authority of the Appellate Body to consider non-member submissions, and possible inadequacies in the Dispute Settlement Understanding.

		Yet they don the cloak of public sanction every time a court lowers the constitutional bar on substituted judgments and consequently broadens the category of people with disabilities whose lives may be terminated.
		The Ethics and Advocacy Task Force, as amicus curiae, raises a very legitimate concern that the “right to die” could become a license to kill.
		Due to the fundamental life interests at stake, it would undoubtedly be unconstitutional for any state to fail to guard against these potential abuses.
