I found this because I was curious about the Amicus briefs in Apple's case. I find it a really fascinating concept that the consensus of a trade's practitioners can have bearing on the law.

My favorite legal quote:

The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience... The law embodies the story of a nation's development through many centuries, and it cannot be dealt with as if it contained only the axioms and corollaries of a book of mathematics. -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
