Talk:Amicus curiae

message: Could someone (who understands the US situation) rewrite this so that it is not US POV?
I would start by saying that an "Amicus curiae" (lit "friend of the court") is (or clearly was in the US) an individual who came before the court as an advocate but was not a party to proceedings, usually to give assistance to the court on a point of law, or general public importance. An "amicus curiae" brief is ...
My understanding of the article is that the phrase amicus curiae is always followed by "brief" in the US. Until very recently, that was not true in England, and an amicus curiae could just be a helpful person in court who assists with points of law, when neither party has the expertise. We now say "friend of the court" or some such, in our drive to avoid Latin.

message: "... a phrase that literally means "friend of the court" -- someone who is not a party to the litigation, but who believes that the court's decision may affect its interest." William H. Rehnquist, The Supreme Court, page 89. 
I'm a bit confused in actually finding this quote. Can anyone advise where and what is page 89 of the Supreme Court means. I'm not sure about where this quote is cited from. Thanks!
*It's from page 89 of a book by Rehnquist called The Supreme Court.  Postdlf 05:50, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rehquist and Amicus Curiae 

message: Amicus curiæ → Amicus curiae
Rationale
The Latin æ is hard to find and is rarely used even by lawyers at least in the US. News organizations use "ae". A regular layperson would never use the æ. EdwinHJ | Talk 00:40, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed move

message: Do any experts in this area have information to contribute to the article about how an individual can go about filing an Amicus Curiae brief, or if it is possible to do so without special permissions/access?  I feel this should be included in the article if someone who knows how this is done can include it.  - Jack Colorado 24.10.88.246 (talk) 23:19, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:NOTHOWTO - it's easy enough to find the Supreme Court Rules for Amicus briefs elsewhere and, as you can see at my link, "An amicus curiae brief may be filed only by an attorney admitted to practice before [the] Court as provided in Rule 5". AP (talk) 21:24, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Filing a Brief

message: Currently this section is wholly comprised of a quote by Rehnquist which does nothing more than restate the definition. I'm removing the section unless/until it can be fleshed out to something useful. 71.241.204.35 (talk) 21:08, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Legal interpretations" section 

message: I've removed a suggestion that the concept of Amicus Curiae is related to the Greek concept of Isegoria. As far as I can see they are quite different concepts. Isegoria is about equality of rights to address the assembly, whereas an amicus curiae assists the court and does not represent an interest. 82.68.102.190 (talk) 19:08, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Is the "i" in amicus pronounced as [ɜ] or a long [i]?  Does the "standard" English (legal) pronunciation match the way the Latin would be pronounced?  Seems like something that should be in the lead, given that pronunciations for other foreign loanwords on Wikipedia.  98.223.232.121 (talk) 00:51, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
