Compared to lobbying Congress, it is difficult to lobby the courts. Explain the two main ways that interest groups lobby the courts.

What will be an ideal response?

Interest groups often file suit in court, or provide advocacy and funding to an individual who has standing to file suit, in order to stop an action by a private group or the government. Sometimes this involves trying to undo a congressional law or changing the way the president is executing the nation’s laws. Interest groups also frequently file amicus briefs, or friend of the court briefs, which explain and advocate their legal positions in court cases in which they are not a participant.
