Amicus Curiae

"Friend of the court" briefs are filed in either federal or state cases that address issues of significant importance in community association law. Amicus curiae briefs allow CAI to educate a court about important legal and policy issues in cases related directly to the community association industry. If your association, municipality or state is being faced with a poorly formulated legal opinion, please consider submitting an application for an amicus brief.
