Reuters reports US judicial panel scraps key provision in amicus brief disclosure rule
Federal judicial rulemakers on Thursday voted to abandon a key part of a proposed rule governing the disclosure of who finances friend-of-the-court briefs after top judges expressed concern the measure could interfere with the privacy of advocacy groups and their members.
The unanimous vote by the U.S. Judicial Conference's Advisory Committee on Appellate Rules marked the latest instance of the judiciary reducing the disclosure obligations for amicus brief filers in the long-debated measure, which was originally aimed at addressing transparency concerns.
