An amicus brief is a document which is filed in a court by someone who is not directly related to the case under consideration. The American Psychological Association has submitted many briefs to courts when they believe education on psychological issues is important for the case at hand. The APA has submitted briefs on sexual harrassment, sexual orientation, disabilities rights and many other topics. Check out a list of the briefs by topic with links to the briefs themselves.
