The Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon, has filed an Amicus brief in support of Second Amendment rights in Barnett v. Raoul.
An Amicus brief is also known as a “friend of the court” filing. Interested individuals or organizations that are not named in a case can file these briefs to try to influence that court’s decision by supplying relevant information and case law. These briefs are standard from both sides of the issue, but the DOJ filing one on behalf of gun rights is something that we haven’t seen in the past.
