In the last several decades, there has been an explosion in the
number of amici curiae, or "friend of the Court," briefs filed with
the U.S. Supreme Court. Amici are not formal parties to a lawsuit,
but file to help inform the Justices about the wider repercussions
of the case before them. Public law scholars have long discussed
whether these briefs have an impact on the Justices. This book is
the first study that seeks to assess the extent of amici influence.
This work examines the role of interest groups in the creation and
interpretation of the right to privacy, a highly controversial
right that derived almost entirely from case law. It looks at amici
participation in abortion, aid in dying, family relationships, and
anti-sodomy cases. This volume tracks the influence of amici
arguments and data on the Justices' handling of these cases.
