Amicus Curiae Committee
Through the Amicus Curiae Committee's 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.
Since 1985, it's been a standing committee of APA's Board of Directors and includes distinguished attorneys and planners from around the country.
