Physical Description: 2.0 c.f. (2 record center cartons) 
Scope and Content Note: Amicus curiae review files maintained by the division administrator, 1991-1997. Half of the accession consists of alphabetically-arranged files on the United States Supreme Court and other appeal court cases, some of which Wisconsin joined and some which it did not. These files include internal memoranda and notes, background information from the National Association of Attorneys General, and requests to the governor's legal counsel seeking permission to join the case. There is little information on individual cases once the decision had been made to join, and there are copies of the final amicus curiae briefs for only a few cases. There are also files about legal cases of other types that the department reviewed, but on which it took no action. Notable among these is State ex rel. Angela v. Kruzicki, in which the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled on the state's right to detain a pregnant woman who was abusing drugs, and Chvala Campaign Committee v. Juneau County, which concerned free speech rights in campaign advertising. Also included are miscellaneous administrative subject files primarily documenting division personnel matters and the 1997 actions of the division's Legislative Committee.
