| I wish to thank Ron Atkey and Gordon Cameron, amici curiae, who performed their roles with skill and balance. |
| With respect to the record already made, amici are at a disadvantage because of their inability to obtain and examine the full transcript of the trial to date. |
| The statement was accompanied by a petition from these two nongovernmental organizations in which they requested permission to participate in the advisory proceedings as amici curiae. |
| Walter Dellinger and Paul Smith performed very well for plaintiffs' amici, as can be expected for lawyers of their caliber. |
| The name amicus curiae is generally acknowledged as something of a misnomer, in that very few amici intend primarily to help the court. |
| Within the court were his officials, misteriales, his friends, amici, and the familiares regis, the king's informal inner circle of confidants and trusted servants. |
