Article on McDonald amicus briefs

Posted by David Hardy · 19 November 2010 08:49 AM

First time I've seen this done -- Ilya Shapiro has an article summarizing the amicus briefs in McDonald v. Chicago. It notes that McDonald's 50 amicus briefs are the fourth highest number for a Supreme Court case (and as I recall, Heller took second place in that roster).

Hat tip to Joe Olson...

My collection of amicus briefs supporting Chicago in the McDonald case totals seventeen, one more than analyzed by Ilya Shapiro. There is an additional early American history brief from professional historians he does not mention.

For a detailed look at numerous historical errors found within the English/Early American History brief and the above mentioned Early American History brief, check out the London Bridge and Benjamin Franklin Bridge series of posts at On Second Opinion Blog.

David Hardy:

Shapiro also published a summary of Heller's amici in Volume 20 of the Journal on Firearms and Public Policy (Fall 2008).
