Respuesta :
when a friend of the court is not a direct party to a case but has a vital interest in its outcome, that person can seek to enter the case by filing an amicus curiae brief.
An amicus curiae is a person or organization that is not a party to a lawsuit but is allowed to assist a court by providing data, knowledge, or insight that is relevant to the case's concerns. Courts have discretion over whether or not to take amicus briefs into consideration.
The purpose of an amicus curiae brief is to raise issues that ensure that the (possibly) wide-ranging legal effects of a court decision will not be dependent only on the parties directly involved in the case. An amicus curiae brief is a learned treatise, that is, a text that is sufficiently authoritative in its field to be admitted as evidence in a court. The court has the discretion to decide whether to admit the information.
