United Policyholders Amicus Project

The purpose of UP's Amicus Project is to provide judges with a balanced perspective when they review cases involving insurance questions. Amicus briefs are the vehicle through which interested parties other than the parties in a case make points for reviewing judges to consider. Judicial decisions define insurance consumers' rights and insurance companies' obligations, so they are critically important and have long-lasting impact.

Insurers and their trade associations routinely deluge reviewing courts with briefs arguing their views. In the majority of cases, judges get no briefs at all that advance the perspective of insureds/insurance consumers. Predictably, the results often favor the insurance industry. UP is striving to change this imbalance through our Amicus Project.

The following is a partial listing of cases in which United Policyholders has recently submitted Amicus Curaie briefs. Please visit this site to stay abreast of our work and of the new briefs we file over time.
