When interest groups try to influence both whether or not the Supreme Court will agree to hear a case, as well as how the justices should rule once they do agree to hear it, they file amicus curiae briefs. Amicus curiae briefs are legal arguments submitted by individuals or organizations who are not parties to a particular case but have a strong interest in its outcome. These briefs are frequently used by interest groups to influence the Court's decision-making process.
