Why Amicus Curiae Briefs Matter at the U.S. Supreme Court

When the U.S. Supreme Court grants certiorari, the case often implicates federal constitutional questions, nationwide regulatory schemes, or industry-wide practices that extend far beyond the named parties. Thoughtfully crafted amicus briefs help the Justices and their clerks understand the broader legal, economic, and real-world consequences of the Court’s ruling.

Amicus submissions can:

·      Highlight separation-of-powers, federalism, and due process concerns the parties may not fully develop.

·      Provide data, historical context, and comparative analysis that frame the case in a way that resonates with the Court’s institutional role.

The Unique Demands of U.S. Supreme Court Amicus Practice

The U.S. Supreme Court practice is not simply “appeals-plus”; it is a specialized discipline with its own rules, expectations, and unwritten norms. From strict formatting and word limits to the Court’s preferences on issue-framing and authority selection, amicus counsel must balance doctrinal rigor with clarity and economy of language.

Effective amicus advocacy requires:

·      Targeted alignment with the Questions Presented, avoiding redundant party briefing while adding distinct value.

·      Careful coordination with merits counsel to support—rather than unintentionally dilute—the core litigation strategy.

U.S. Supreme Court-Level Writing, With Appellate Experience

Attorney Corey Biazzo is admitted to the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States and has experience preparing amicus curiae briefing before the Court, including in high-profile matters involving federal constitutional and statutory issues. His background includes creating appellate precedent in state landlord-tenant law and drafting and litigating complex civil litigation and appellate filings in both trial and appellate courts.

That combination of appellate experience and trial-tested litigation judgment allows U.S. Supreme Court amicus briefing to:

·      Translate complex records and regulatory schemes into clean, persuasive narrative suitable for the Court’s limited time and attention.

·      Anticipate how Justices may read a statute, regulation, or constitutional provision and tailor arguments accordingly.
