Summary/Abstract: The paper treats about law frames regulating the participation of non-governmental organization (with its doctrinal name amicus curiae) in Polish Constitutional Tribunal. It indicates not only the rules being fundaments of NGOs’ contribution in the trial, but also presents real situations when non-governmental organizations raised their voices concerning the cases analyzed by the Constitutional Tribunal. The great worth of NGOs’ input in the Constitutional Tribunal proceedings is based on knowledge and experience of experts working for such organizations and their responsiveness for social problems as well. What is important, authors mainly aim at describing the role that amici curiae play in the human rights protection system. The data presented in the essay unambiguously shows the real influence of non-governmental organizations’ involvement on the Constitutional Tribunal’s conclusions phrased in the process of consideration upon the case.
