Good Way to Find Amicus Briefs?

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Jun 04, 2018 10:17 am

I'm an intern trying to find organizations who would file an amicus brief in support of my office's position. However, I have not found many organizations who would help us, and I have already exhausted Westlaw and SCOTUSblog for possible friends. Does anyone know of other resources to find amicus briefs?

You have to find big Circuit or SCOTUS cases, pull them up on Westlaw or PACER and hope one was filed.

also if you know of any state supreme courts that have decided the issue, they usually have online dockets where you can see/download all the briefs that were filed.
