Amici curiae briefs

Amici curiae briefs are documents submitted to a court by non-parties, called amici curiae, which means "friends of the court." These individuals or organizations provide additional perspectives or information that can help the court make a more informed decision on a case. They typically have expertise or stakes related to the legal issues being considered. While they do not have a direct interest in the outcome, their insights can influence the judges' understanding of the broader implications of their ruling.
