APA works to advance planning through the judicial process by filing amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs in selected cases of national importance. Amicus Curiae CommitteeThe APA Amicus Curiae Committee is one of the more visible parts of APA. Through its efforts, APA files "friend-of-the-court" briefs in state and federal courts in cases of importance to the planning profession and the public interest. Recent APA Amicus BriefsMagner v. Gallagher (2012)APA, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and seven other housing advocates submitted a brief supporting the existence of a disparate impact standard under the federal Fair Housing Act. In the Matter of the Adoption of N.J.A.C. 5:96 and 5:97 (2011)APA, the APA New Jersey Chapter, New Jersey Future, and the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey jointly submitted a brief to the New Jersey Supreme Court supporting revision of the state's proposed rules for allocation of affordable housing to ensure that municipalities provide their fair share of housing opportunity.
