Yesterday I filed an #AmicusCuriae brief at #SCOTUS in the birthright citizenship case. It presents stories of 3 families of Japanese ancestry--w/o legal allegiance to the USA--to show citizenship derives from birth on US soil, not parental loyalties.

Navigating Appeals of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Decisions Requires a Deep Understanding of Standing Navigating appeals of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) decisions requires a firm grasp of the legal concept of "standing." This isn't about the merits of your argument; it's a preliminary legal hurdle determining whether you even have the right to bring your case before a court. Establishing standing requires demonstrating a direct and concrete harm resulting from the FERC decision, a demonstrable link between the decision and that harm (causation), and the potential for the court to provide a remedy. The challenge in FERC appeals stems from the agency's broad regulatory jurisdiction, which inherently impacts numerous stakeholders. While it’s common to argue that a FERC decision indirectly affects you, that’s often insufficient. Courts require a *direct* impact. The Supreme Court case *Association of Battery Recyclers v. EPA* solidified this stringent requirement, emphasizing concrete and particularized injury. To proactively avoid the "standing" obstacle, carefully consider potential harm during FERC proceedings. Document how a potential decision could directly affect you, keeping detailed records of these impacts. Narrowly define the scope of any potential harm, as broad, generalized claims are unlikely to suffice. During the appeal process, focus your arguments on the direct and specific harm you’re experiencing. Clearly demonstrate how the FERC decision caused that injury. Be prepared for rigorous scrutiny of your claims and supporting evidence. If directly establishing standing proves difficult, consider filing an *amicus curiae* brief—a "friend of the court" brief—which allows you to present arguments without meeting the standing requirement. Additional considerations include the possibility of aggregating harm with other parties (a complex legal process) and the “zone of interests” test, which assesses whether your asserted interest falls within the scope of the law FERC is administering. FERC often argues against standing, asserting that its decisions don't cause harm or are within its authority, further complicating the process. Understanding these nuances is crucial for strategic planning, effective advocacy, and informed decisions about resource allocation when pursuing a FERC appeal.

I had the pleasure of submitting to the Court an #AmicusCuriae jointly written with Cesare Romano and Faraz Shahlaei related to the (lack of) #independence of the #CAS and will be curious to see whether it had any influence on the Court's decision.

Got asked by guy with/mic, cameraman filming this morning at Carlsbad beach, near Pine on grass triangle, what was the meaning of ‘amicus curiae’, I replied I didn’t know, and when asked if I cared to take a guess, I said no, no clue. He said ‘sounds latin’ and I agreed. Was weird.

"The Court cannot draw a logical connection [... between X and Y] any more than an internal memo showing that a car dealership has not and will not require a blood sacrifice to buy a car would affect its negotiations with customers."

That's a hell of a thing to see in a legal brief.

Mengenal Amicus Curiae yang Diajukan Megawati Terkait Sengketa Pilpres Amicus curiae merupakan konsep hukum yang memungkinkan pihak ketiga, yaitu mereka yang merasa berkepentingan terhadap suatu perkara.

Gimana cerita #Megawati yg Ketua Umum #PDIP alias ketua umum partai pengusung Ganjar - Mahfud ajukan #AmicusCuriae dlm perkara sengketa #Pilpres di #MK yg diajukan Ganjar? Aneh ah!

Lebih pener dan berguna u/ demokrasi klo Megawati pastikan PDIP jd #oposisi selama 5 tahun mendatang. Berani kan?
