The Amicus Project in the Jones Center for Race, Gender, and Social Justice is a collaborative research effort coordinated by the Jones Center to develop briefs and track ongoing cases related to the social justice.
Our briefs have both supplemented necessary information for the Court’s guidance and interpretation and allowed for individuals not party to the case to have a voice in the proceedings. Furthermore, they have provided opportunities for practicing attorneys to collaborate with current law students, allowing for enhanced experiential learning and honing legal writing and research skills. Thus far, the Project has seen success in one of the five cases and has influenced dissents in others.
