On March 4, 2024, Larry Ebner presented a webinar for the Dartmouth Lawyers Association on How To Write and Use Amicus Briefs Strategically. Interviewed by DLA Treasurer Hilary B. Miller, Larry, a 1969 Dartmouth College graduate, covered key questions from the viewpoints of both amicus brief authors and parties seeking amicus support. For example—
- Who files amicus briefs and why?
- What are the differences in approach between petition-stage and merits-stage amicus briefs?
- What is the worst mistake an amicus brief author can make?
- What are some of the key procedural pitfalls to avoid?
- How far can a litigating party go in soliciting amicus support?
