Abstract

Research suggests that merit amicus curiae participation correlates with Supreme Court decision making and that states make frequent and effective use of this tool. To date, however, no study has adequately examined the relationship between state amicus participation and the federalism values reflected in the Court's decisions. This article dev"Lelops and finds evidence for the assertion that, when they cooperate in the amicus process, state participation is associated with an increase in the likelihood of rulings favoring state rather than national government power.
