Following Lower-Court Precedent, Aaron-Andrew P. Bruhl Sep 2019

Following Lower-Court Precedent, Aaron-Andrew P. Bruhl

Aaron-Andrew P. Bruhl

The Amicus Machine, Allison Orr Larsen, Neal Devins

Allison Orr Larsen

The Supreme Court receives a record number of amicus curiae briefs and cites to them with increasing regularity.

Today, skilled and specialized advocates of the Supreme Court Bar strategize about what issues the Court should hear and from whom they should hear them.
