Amicus Briefs

NWLC files amicus curiae (or “friend of the court”) briefs in cases brought by other attorneys. Our amicus briefs focus on matters with the potential to impact the law more broadly and substantially improve the equality, health, and economic security of women, girls, and all who are harmed by sex discrimination.
