Amicus Work

Summary

The Center both serves as legal counsel and signs on to “friend of the court” amicus briefs when our voice, original research and analysis, or legal expertise can inform and influence how key issues at stake are understood and decided. In international, regional and domestic bodies and courts—including the U.S. Supreme Court—we join forces with a diverse mix of legal, academic, social justice, civil rights, and human rights allies to use the power of law to advance reproductive rights as human rights.

Below are some of the many amicus briefs the Center has written, or joined, in cases impacting abortion access, maternal health, contraceptive coverage, assisted reproduction, and discrimination against people based on their gender, sexuality, or reproductive health decisions.
