What are Amicus Briefs...and do they matter?

An Amicus brief is a "friend of the court" brief, but sometimes that friendship is strained.

You can make a good teacher. Eloquent, brief and informative

Fascinating. Please explain what are the best uses of an amicus in more detail as well as how one gets permission to file one, the structure. Is it the same as an appellate brief? How do they get published?

NICE intro and outro additions. Things keep improving.

So is it only on appeal that amicus breifs be filed? Ive watched spurious slapp suits happen time and time again to youtubers and wondered if i could file a brief? I feel standing on the sidelines has gone on long enough.

So an Amicus Brief is always filed to a specific case? Curious what you think about the amicus brief to defend the CFPB, 22 states as plaintiffs- submitted by AG Andrea Joy Campbell - 20 Feb. Basically to stop Trumps dismantling of research, health, and science. I was hoping someone smarter could explain 😅 Thank you for this!

Well, thanks for clearing this up for me! I always thought they were something a guy named Amicus wore. Love your videos, btw. 😁
