M.C. Sungaila also has a terrific article in today's DJ, "Effective Advocacy Through Amicus Briefs." Her advice includes:- "Distinguish between amicus support at the review and merits stages"
- "Make sure your brief adds something to the case"
- "Consider whether the brief you propose fills one of three roles for amici"
- "Write well and succinctly"
- "Choose your amici (and amicus counsel) carefully"
- "Consider the impact of an unusual constellation of amici joining a brief"
