Amicus Curiae Briefs

Activists and advocacy organizations often lack the resources to hire attorneys to write amicus curiae briefs. These briefs, submitted by those who are not parties to the lawsuit but with strong interests in its outcome, are commonly filed by large trade groups, commercial enterprises, and organizations with deep pockets to ensure that their interests are presented to the court. Those who cannot afford these briefs are often left out of the process and their voices go unheard.

The following are some of the Amicus Briefs that FAP has Filed.
