Amicus Curiae Practice
Overview
Are you interested in the outcome of a case on appeal but not a party to it? Worried that the litigants and the court may overlook an important point? Maslon can give you a voice.
Our appellate team has extensive experience representing a diverse array of individuals and organizations as friends of the court or "amicus curiae." Whether it be an important tax question or a groundbreaking case in the area of civil rights, we know how to share your unique perspective with the judges (or justices) as a "friend of the court."
Our experience representing friends of the court helps us recruit others to help on appeals where we represent one of the parties. In some cases, amicus curiae briefs provide valuable insight to the court, and are very persuasive as a result.
