Amicus status granted in APPLL appeal

Over the objections of the Town of Bar Harbor and intervenor Charles Sidman, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has granted Amicus status to Cruise Lines International Association and Pioneer Public Interest Law Center in the APPLL et al vs. Town of Bar Harbor appeal.

Amicus status grants an individual or organization, not a party to the case, the right to assist the court by offering information, expertise, or insight that has a bearing on the issues in the case.
