Citizens and citizens' groups take part in court cases in many ways:
- First, through the U.S. jury system, citizens are chosen to engage in fact-finding and to help decide the outcome of the case.
- Second, citizens and citizens' groups can submit "amicuscuriae briefs" to the court. "Amicus curiae" literally means "friend of the court" in Latin -- these are briefs submitted by non-parties who are interested, somehow, in the issues of the case. They provide arguments and issues for the court to consider.
- Citizens also take part in court cases by providing testimony, acting as good character witnesses, etc.
