- An Empirical Study of Amici Curiae in Federal Court: A Fine Balance of Access, Efficiency, and Adversarialism
In fact, during the last half of the twentieth century, the Supreme Court saw an astonishing 800% increase in the number of amicus filings on its docket.9 This increase manifested as an increase in the number of briefs filed as well as an increase in the number of participants cosigning the amicus submissions.10 Several scholars have studied this tremendous surge in non-party participation and established that the influence of amicus briefs on litigation success depends upon many factors, including, for example, the prestige and experience of the entity filing the brief (with the U.S. Solicitor General showing the greatest success), whether the brief supports the respondent or the petitioner (briefs supporting the respondents enjoy higher success rates), and the disparity in number of b...

- Protect Public Participation in Public Policy Debates
CHICAGO, June 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Civil Liberties Union and a group of prominent media organizations have asked the Illinois Supreme Court to uphold a 2007 state law that permits ordinary citizens to speak out on questions of public policy without fear of expensive, lengthy, retaliatory lawsuits brought by the subjects of their speech. The request comes in an amicus curiae brief filed recently by the ACLU of Illinois, the Illinois Press Association, the Illinois Broadcasters Association, and the Public Participation Project. In the case, Sandholm v. Kueker, et.al., the free speech advocates ask the Court to uphold the 2007 Illinois Citizen's Participation Act (CPA), a measure designed to encourage free speech for members of the public.
