@Teri_Kanefield I never realized until this year that amicus briefs could be filed in district courts. It seems... weird. Imagine some rando third party filing briefs in an ordinary case, opining on whether or not your Rule 12 motion should be granted!

@msbellows @Teri_Kanefield Yes, I've done this off and on for 40 years. As far as I know anyone can send an amicus letter to any court. If I see an interesting case that I have thoughts about I'll write an amicus letter to the court presenting food for thought. (This usually occured in patent cases.) The court is free to ignore it, of course.
