Well, done! An amicus, at heart, is anyone who can bring *new* laws or facts to a court to help judges make better decisions. One need not be a lawyer or a PhD "expert" to be an amicus but, the US Supremes usually require an attorney to be a member of the US Supreme Court Bar, a relatively small group, to be able to present them an amicus brief which is w any useful information on a law case which **neither** the appellants nor defendants' attorneys have already briefed to the court. Judges can solicit amicus briefs such as one I was asked to present in writing and also in oral arguments as a then non-lawyer for a military appeals court or an amicus can submit a brief out of the blue or quasi-via a party's attorney. It's rare in appeal cases to get an amicus brief so it is a big deal. Most judges truly like to have an out of the blue neutral amicus to bring a killer new argument or new facts when judges are reviewing facts de novo.

Thank you! I'm learning as I go along.
Thank you!!
I'm guessing this wasn't on your bingo card back in 2019.
