Law.com has Chamber of Commerce Opposes Tougher Amicus Disclosure Rules in Letter to Judiciary Rules Panel
- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is opposing suggested changes to a financial disclosure rule covering amicus briefs, saying broadening the reporting requirements will ”chill core First Amendment interests.”
- The chamber, the largest corporate lobbying group in the country, sent a letter last week to the committee’s chairman, Judge Jay Bybee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, contending such an amendment would have no clear benefit.
- A study by two Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer attorneys found that the 2019–20 Supreme Court term had more than 900 amicus briefs filed in argued cases, the second-highest number since the pair started tracking it in 2010.
