Amicus Curiae Brief Criteria

黑料社 participates as amicus curiae in cases in the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Federal Courts of Appeals, and state supreme courts. 黑料社 amicus curiae practice is limited to cases that present a question of significant interest to the trial bar at large and address an issue of nationwide scope or potential impact on a substantial number of jurisdictions.

黑料社 may appear as amicus curiae in a lower court or at a stage other than merits (e.g., petition for writ of certiorari; petition for rehearing) if good cause is shown. However, 黑料社 does not participate in a case as amicus curiae if the appellate dispute is largely factual in nature.
