For the edification of the academic community, I submit the following:
BRIEF OF AN AMICUS CURIAE A brief of an amicus curiae may be filed only if
accompanied by written consent of all parties, or by leave of court granted on
motion or at the request of the court, except that consent or leave shall not
be required when the brief is presented by the United States or an officer
or agency thereof, or by a State, Territory or Commonwealth. The brief may be
conditionally filed with the motion for leave. A motion for leave shall
identify the interest of the applicant and shall state the reasons why a brief of
an amicus curiae is desirable. Save as all parties otherwise consent, any
amicus curiae shall file its brief within the time allowed the party whose
position as to affirmance or reversal the amicus brief will support unless the
court for cause shown shall grant leave for a later filing, in which event it
shall specify within what period an opposing party may answer. A motion of an
amicus curiae to participate in the oral argument will be granted only for
extraordinary reasons.
—Rule 29. Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure
