The Supreme Court on Tuesday also granted requests from the American Federation of Government Employees Local 704 , Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, Public Records Media, Minnesota Coalition on Government Information, Minnesota Well Owners Organization and two administrative law professors to file amicus curiae, or “friends of the court,” briefs in the case.
“An amicus curiae brief that brings to the attention of the court relevant matter not already brought to its attention by the parties may be of considerable help to the court,” the court said in Tuesday’s order.
