United States — Amicus Curiae Briefs
 
Reviewed 15 September 2013 E-mail: Administrator@LawSource.com

NOTE:—Experience has shown that maintaining a collection of links to amicus curiae briefs is impractical (for a small staff, at least). Briefs are numerous and transitory on the internet, and finding new links is inordinately time-consuming. Therefore, while the links on this page will be preserved for as long as they are viable, new links will not be added.
Here is a form that can be used to invoke the Google.com search engine in an effort to find posted briefs that were filed in a particular case or filed by a particular amicus curiae.

Keywords:  

Enter appropriate keywords (party names, usually) and click on the “Search” button. (Entering “amicus curiae” or “brief” is not necessary or helpful.) Prepending “ +” (with a leading space) to a term will force inclusion, or “ -” (with a leading space) will force exclusion, in the results. To search for a phrase, enclose it in double quotes ("boy scouts"), and prepend “ +” to common words in the phrase if necessary ("boy scouts +of america"). Use uppercase “OR” (without quotation marks) to separate exclusive-alternative terms ("boy scout" OR scouts).
The American Bar Association provides on-line copies of the briefs of parties in cases for the current term of the U.S. Supreme Court. See a page titled “A Brief Summary: Finding Briefs on the Web,” which provides links to numerous sources of briefs; it is on a site by Robert J. Ambrogi, a Massachusetts attorney. See links to archived briefs filed in the U.S. Supreme Court by the American Civil Liberties Union (starting in the 1994 term). See The Curiae Project at Yale Law School for briefs in selected U.S. Supreme Court cases. See a collection of government briefs (except in response to in forma pauperis petitions) filed by the solicitor general in cases in the U.S. Supreme Court.

This page provides links to on-line versions of amicus curiae briefs (along with selected pleadings and briefs by parties in some cases) that were filed in the U.S. Supreme Court, the federal appellate courts, and state courts (including U.S. district courts) in the United States — which are listed here in that order; see the table of court links, below. A collection of scanned U.S. Supreme Court briefs (ostensibly focused on cases raising constitutional-law issues), starting with the 1999-2000 term, can be found at the FindLaw (West Group) web site.

Cases are listed in descending docket-number order for each court; that is, the most recently filed case is first. The case name is linked to a report of the court’s decision if the report is freely available on the internet.

Note: For an exasperated jurist’s tart opinion on the abusive filing of amicus curiae briefs, see Posner, C.J., reaffirming denial of a motion for leave to file a brief in Ryan v. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, No. 97-2120 (7th Cir. Sept. 16, 1997).

  • Monge v. California, No. 97-6146 (U.S. June 26, 1998)
    Decision: The Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment, which is applicable in the capital-sentencing context [see Bullington v. Missouri, 451 U.S. 430 (1981)], does not extend to noncapital-sentencing proceedings.
  • Criminal Justice Legal Foundation
  • Reno v. American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, No. 97-1252 (U.S. n.d.)
    Issue: Do the U.S. district courts have jurisdiction to address challenges to deportation proceedings prior to the entry of a final order of deportation?
  • Criminal Justice Legal Foundation
  • Pennsylvania Department of Corrections v. Yeskey, No. 97-634 (U.S. June 15, 1998)
    Decision: State prisons fall squarely within the statutory definition of “public entity” in the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, since the definition includes “any . . . instrumentality of a State . . . or local government” [42 U.S.C. § 12131(1)(B)]. State prisoners’ claims of unlawful disability discrimination are legally cognizable.
  • American Civil Liberties Union
  • Criminal Justice Legal Foundation
  • Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole v. Scott, No. 97-581 (U.S. June 22, 1998)
    Decision: The exclusionary rule, which generally prohibits the introduction at a criminal trial of evidence obtained in violation of a defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights, does not apply in parole revocation hearings.

L. 104-132, § 106(b) (Apr. 24, 1996), do not apply to a claim for relief under the holding of Ford v. Wainwright, 477 U.S. 399 (1986), that “the Eighth Amendment prohibits a State from inflicting the penalty of death upon a prisoner who is insane” [id. at 410].

L. 104-132, § 106(b) (Apr. 24, 1996), did not control the decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to recall its mandate and grant a petition for habeas corpus relief that the court had previously denied (although that action was a “grave abuse of discretion” in the absence of evidence that otherwise a miscarriage of justice would occur).
  • Criminal Justice Legal Foundation
  • Texas v. United States, No. 97-29 (U.S. Mar. 31, 1998)
    Decision:
  • American Civil Liberties Union
  • Gray v. Maryland, No. 96-8653 (U.S. Mar. 9, 1998)
    Decision: The holding of Bruton v. United States, 391 U.S. 123 (1968) — to wit: in a joint trial of two defendants accused of the same crime, one’s confession naming and incriminating the other cannot be used at all, even with a limiting instruction — applies equally when the non-confessing joint defendant’s name has been deleted from the confession before it is offered into evidence.

    Decision:
  • American Civil Liberties Union
  • Buchanan v. Angelone, No. 96-8400 (U.S. Jan. 21, 1998)
    Decision: The Eighth Amendment does not require that a capital jury be instructed on the concept of mitigating evidence generally, or on particular statutory mitigating factors.
  • Criminal Justice Legal Foundation
  • Lindh v. Murphy, No. 96-6298 (U.S. June 23, 1997)
    Decision: 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d) added by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-132, § 104 cl. (3) (Apr. 24, 1996), does not govern habeas corpus applications in non-capital cases that were already pending when the Act was passed.
  • Criminal Justice Legal Foundation
  • Insultherm, Inc. v. Tank Insulation International, Inc., No. 96-1899, cert. denied (U.S. Oct. 6, 1997)
    Issue: Is an antitrust counterclaim a compulsory claim in a patent infringement action? See 104 F.3d 83 (5th Cir. 19—)
  • American Intellectual Property Law Association
  • Ohio Adult Parole Authority v. Woodard, No. 96-1769 (U.S. Mar. 25, 1998)
    Decision: [1] The holding of Connecticut Board of Pardons v. Dumschat, 452 U.S. 458 (1981), is reaffirmed — pardon and commutation decisions have not traditionally been the business of courts; as such, they are rarely, if ever, appropriate subjects for judicial review. The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is not violated where, as here, the procedures in question do no more than confirm that the clemency and pardon power is committed, as is our tradition, to the authority of the executive. [2] Giving an inmate the option of voluntarily participating in an interview as part of the clemency process does not violate the inmate’s Fifth Amendment rights.
  • American Civil Liberties Union
  • Criminal Justice Legal Foundation
  • Feltner v. Columbia Pictures Television, Inc., No. 96-1768 (U.S. Mar. 31, 1998)
    Decision: [1] There is no statutory right to a jury trial when a copyright owner elects to recover statutory damages under 17 U.S.C. § 504(c). [2] The Seventh Amendment provides a right to a jury trial on all issues pertinent to an award of statutory damages under that section, including the amount of damages.

  • American Intellectual Property Law Association
  • County of Sacramento v. Lewis, No. 96-1337 (U.S. May 26, 1998)
    Decision: A police officer does not violate the Fourteenth Amendment guaranty of substantive due process by causing death through deliberate or reckless indifference to life in a high-speed automobile chase aimed at apprehending a suspected offender. In such circumstances, only a purpose to cause harm unrelated to the legitimate object of arrest will satisfy the element of arbitrary conduct shocking to the conscience, necessary for a due-process violation.
  • Criminal Justice Legal Foundation
  • United States v. Scheffer, No. 96-1133 (U.S. Mar. 31, 1998)
    Decision: Military Rule of Evidence 707 [excluding polygraph evidence in all military trials] does not unconstitutionally abridge the right of accused members of the military to present a defense.
  • Criminal Justice Legal Foundation
  • Miller v. Albright, No. 96-1060 (U.S. Apr. 22, 1998)
    Decision:
  • American Civil Liberties Union
  • State Oil Co. v. Khan, No. 96-871 (U.S. Nov. 4, 1997)
    Decision: Maximum resale price maintenance is not a per se violation of the Sherman Act.
  • Federal Trade Commission
  • Arkansas Educational Television Commission v. Forbes, No. 96-779 (U.S. May 18, 1998)
    Decision: A state-owned public television broadcaster’s program televising a candidates’ debate was a nonpublic forum from which the broadcaster could exclude an independent candidate in the reasonable, viewpoint-neutral exercise of journalistic discretion.

    Decision: [1] The U.S. Constitution does not forbid Missouri to require that evidence of an incompetent’s wishes as to the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment be proved by clear and convincing evidence.

    Decision: Petition for habeas corpus relief is denied. Under the applicable policies and case law governing the filing of habeas corpus petitions in capital cases in a California court, whenever a habeas corpus petition is filed more than 90 days after the filing of the reply brief in the direct appeal, the petitioner has the burden of establishing the timeliness of the claims raised in the petition. “We issued an order to show cause in [this case] to analyze the timeliness issue and to explain, in the context of specific claims, how the timeliness rules are applied by our court.”

  • People v. Venegas, No. S044870 (Cal. May 11, 1998)

However, the prosecution’s failure to prove general scientific acceptance of the methodology used by the FBI in performing the DNA analysis was not prejudicial error.
