A quick definition of amicus curiae:

Amicus curiae means "friend of the court" in Latin. It refers to a person or group who is not directly involved in a legal case, but has a strong interest in the outcome. They can ask the court for permission to submit a brief, which is a document that explains their position and tries to influence the court's decision. These briefs are called "amicus briefs." Amici curiae can also participate in oral arguments before an appellate court. Rules for amicus briefs vary depending on the court and jurisdiction.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Amicus Curiae is a Latin term that means "friend of the court." It refers to a person or group who is not a party to a legal case but has a strong interest in the matter. They may petition the court for permission to submit a brief in the case, intending to influence the court's decision. These briefs are called "amicus briefs."

For example, in the case of Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, several organizations submitted amicus briefs to the Supreme Court in support of one side or the other. These briefs provided additional arguments and evidence for the court to consider when making its decision.

Amici curiae may also participate in oral arguments before an appellate court, advocating for their position.

Overall, amicus curiae play an important role in shaping legal decisions by providing additional perspectives and information for the court to consider.
