Do lobbyists exert influence among all three branches of government? Why or why not? Yes, they advise on rules and legislation and file briefs with the courts. No, they focus on developing legislation. Yes, they influence the election of officials to all three branches. No, the courts are immune to outside influences.

The answer is: Yes, they advise on rules and legislation and file briefs with the courts

The lobbyists would most likely make a certain government official feel indebted to them (they tend to fund the campaign of specific government officials). I

n return, the government officials need to listen to their advise regarding legislation that shall be passed. (usually this would benefit the lobbyist in some ways).
