In federal appellate litigation, the term amicus curiae, or "friend of the court," refers to a person or organization that isn't a part of the case but offers information, experience, or arguments to assist the court in making its decision.

As businesses grow and face increasing legal challenges, having access to experienced legal guidance becomes essential. However, hiring a full-time in-house general counsel may not always be financially viable or necessary, especially for smaller or mid-sized companies.
