Abstract
Amici curiae participation plays an important role in litigation and judicial decisionmaking.
The public interest nature of these participations has become particularly
important in representing the point of view of those who might be affected by a judgment
which could influence the outcome of a decision. Employing amicus curiae participation
as specific litigation strategy is of importance in promoting litigation from a feminist and
gendered viewpoint allowing feminist method to be employed in constructing effective
legal arguments.
