Interest groups can use litigation as a strategy of influence by filing amicus curiae briefs (friend-of-the-court briefs) that provide additional legal arguments to support the group's interests. Interest groups can also finance lawsuits that align with their interests or bring a suit on behalf of the group. By doing so, interest groups can shape the law and bring attention to their cause.
