Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interest groups can lobby the courts by filing lawsuits or sponsoring lawsuits that align with their interests. They can also file amicus curiae briefs (friend of the court briefs) to offer the court their perspective on a case that could affect their interests. Meeting with judges or letter-writing campaigns are not typical methods of lobbying the courts, and testifying before congressional committees is a different process altogether.
