Amicus Curiae : 법정 조언자(보통은 변호사)

 

1)
this is legal Engllish
firstly, a brief
brief in law is a document containing all the facts about a case, all the points of law
it's normally it's effectively a lawyer's notes
it's all of the information about a case

 

2)
an amicus brief
this is a brief or information given to a court

this is a legal document giving advice or information about a certain case
notice, the person that gives the amicus brief is not related to the case
normally you have these amicus briefs in maybe litigation
files of amicus briefs are on cases
amicus brief by the commissioner
amicus brief that the commisioner filed helped them to win the case
maybe a charity could give an amicus brief or an amicus curiae brief in a particular case

amicus brief and amicus curiae brief, they are a document that is given to a court and the court can accept it or reject it
this is by somebody who is indipendent of the case, they don't have anything to gain or lose or buy it

 

3)
an amicus curiae, is talking about of the court 
so amicus , a friend 
so amicus curiae is a friends of the court and this person is helping the court


somebody who has given the court a legal document saying what they think or what giving them their information about it
when it comes to a business litigation, maybe an independent party can give their opinion
The person or the group who files this document are amicus curiae

a friends of the court, so they'are being friendly and they're helping the court
amicus curiae, a normally a professional person or a professional organization that the court allows to advise the court on

some matter 

 

but notice, this is not the same as a witness who appears on behalf of one side or the other, and who either speaks for the defense or for the prosecution
But, amicus curiae is just helping the court and is not helping either of the two parties
it's just giving its own unbiased opinion


Formality : 8 - 8.5
