	Amicus curiae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amicus curiae (Latin, plural amici curiae) is defined as, "A friend of the court.
		Appellate cases are normally limited to the factual record and arguments coming from the lower court case under appeal, and attorneys focus on the facts and arguments most favorable to their clients.
		Where a case may have broader implications, amicus curiae briefs are a way to introduce those concerns, so that the possibly broad legal effects of court decisions will not depend solely on the parties directly involved in the case.

	AMICUS BRIEF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The vast majority of amicus curiae briefs are filed by allies of litigants and duplicate the arguments made in the litigants’ briefs, in effect merely extending the length of the litigant's brief.
		Many amicus briefs are written pro bono by lawyers trying to squeeze a project between the demands of paying clients, and the result is a hurriedly drafted brief that does not materially add to the presentation of the case.
		Amicus briefs must comply with Rule 38.4 governing party briefs, which mean that an original amicus brief should not exceed 50 pages, and a reply amicus brief should not exceed 25 pages.

	Justice System Journal: FILING OF AMICUS CURIAE BRIEFS IN STATE COURTS OF LAST RESORT: 1960-2000
		By tracking all amicus curiae participation in the Supreme Court between 1928 and 1980, they show that between 1970 and 1980 amici were present in 53.4 percent of U.S. Supreme Court cases, a dramatic increase from the 1.6 percent participation between 1928 and 1940.
		Average involvement of course means that the amicus involvement in particular types of cases was even higher.6 This significant increase in amicus curiae participation over time led O'Connor and Epstein to infer that a Supreme Court responsive to interests outside of the formal parties had in fact developed since the time of Hakman's study.
		In other words, presence of an amicus brief is a "cue" to justices that the issues in the case go beyond the interests of the parties to the suit.

	Amicus: The Studio that Dripped Blood
		Amicus’ forte seemed to lie in the making of anthologies, although, the studio certainly didn’t limit itself to just anthologies.
		Amicus films covered a little bit of everything, sci-fi, horror, psychological thrillers and fantasies and regardless if critics sang a film’s praises or not, the film-going public seemed to clamor for anything associated with Amicus.
		Amicus hit the mark right on with this 1972 film and in my opinion, it's the anthology that all others can only be compared to.
