ELS Supreme Court Advocacy Program
law.emory.eduThe Emory Law School Supreme Court Advocacy Program (ELSSCAP) is the only student-run Supreme Court litigation program in the United States. As a student-run pro bono litigation program, ELSSCAP is unique in that it gives Emory students a chance to control every part of the brief-writing process. ELSSCAP excels at writing eloquent, persuasive briefs to the Supreme Court. We have significant experience writing amicus briefs and petitions for certiorari. In 2012, a case co-managed by ELSSCAP and a partner firm, Bullock v. BankChampaign, N.A., No. 11-1518 was granted certiorari by the United States Supreme Court. On Monday, May 13, 2013 the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in Bullock v. BankChampaign, N.A., giving ELSSCAP its first win on the merits. ELSSCAP briefs get noticed too. In 2012, Justice Breyer cited our amicus brief in his dissent in Florence v. Board of Chosen Freeholders, 132 S.Ct. 1510 (2012). In 2020, one of our briefs won the prestigious Amicus Service Award from the International Municipal Lawyers Association. ELSSCAP is well-connected. We are able to offer clients the extensive resources of the entire law school, including the expertise of Emory’s distinguished faculty, our partner firms, and the ability to coordinate amici. Finally, ELSSCAP is cost-effective. ELSSCAP always works pro-bono and can cover the filing costs for clients on an as-needed basis.
