Interest groups can use litigation as a strategy of influence by filing amici curiae briefs (briefs by a third party to a lawsuit who is not directly involved but has an interest in the outcome), financing lawsuits (providing financial support to individuals or groups who bring cases related to the interest group's goals), and bringing a suit on behalf of the group (suing on behalf of the group to achieve a policy goal).
