Suggest a case
We welcome your suggestions of pending cases that might make good candidates for the amicus program.
A case that is a strong candidate typically meets both of these criteria:
- Has already been or will soon be filed in a federal court of appeals or state supreme court. We do not accept requests for U.S. Supreme Court briefs as those briefs are filed by the Office of the Solicitor General.
- Presents one or more important legal questions about the interpretation or application of a federal consumer financial protection statute or regulation that we interpret and enforce.
We strongly encourage you to review our FAQs for more information about requesting an amicus brief.
