CACJ files many amicus curiae briefs in state and federal courts each year, providing defense counsel and the judiciary with expertise on issues affecting the constitutional rights of the accused. The amicus committee has made significant contributions in two recent decisions Missouri v. Seibert (banning delayed Miranda) and
People v. Neal (intentional Miranda violation is a factor to be considered in judging voluntariness among many others).
