Interest groups work to influence the courts in a number of ways. Interest groups often file amicus  curiae (friend of the court) briefs, presenting an argument in favor of a particular issue. Sometimes interest  groups file lawsuits against the government or other parties. For example,  the NAACP worked for years to bring civil rights cases to the Supreme Court. The American Civil Liberties Union also makes extensive use of the  courts. Previous section Strategies Used by Interest Groups Next section The Outside Game: Public Pressure and Electoral Influence
