WSIA

An amicus curiae ("friend of the court") brief is an organization's opportunity to address an appeals court on the issues before it without being a direct party to the case. From time to time, WSIA will file an amicus brief in an appeal that raises an issue of substantial importance to the WSIA membership or promises to set legal precedent in the fields of workplace safety or workers' compensation. The decision to file an amicus brief is made by the WSIA Executive Committee, with input from the association's legal affairs committee.
