Book excerpt: Scourfield McLauchlan studies how Members of Congress participate in cases before the Supreme Court. Members have filed amicus curiae briefs every Term since 1977. The frequency of Congressional participation before the Court continues to rise, and it is now a fixture in Supreme Court litigation. McLauchlan examines how often Members of Congress participate as friend of the court, what types of cases attract Congressional attention, what motivates Congressmen to file amicus briefs, and whether Congressional friends of the court influence Supreme Court decision-making. She explores the implications of this trend for the principles of separation of powers and judicial independence.
