We put our mission into action by participating as an
amicus curiae on legal cases. The NAWL Amicus Committee reviews opportunities to add amicus support in cases of interest to NAWL members. The Committee reviews amicus briefs drafted by other organizations and, occasionally, drafts its own. NAWL has provided amicus support on issues including enforcing Title IX, workplace harassment and employment discrimination, reproductive care, and gender-based violence.
Yes, the Committee primarily reviews amicus briefs drafted and submitted by other organizations for consideration to join.
The Committee needs a minimum of two weeks to review a request to join a brief.
Yes, NAWL authors briefs, often in partnership with another organization.
