a legal document submitted to an appellate court by an individual, advocacy group, or institution that is not a party to the lawsuit, but has a strong interest or relevant expertise in the case. These briefs are designed to assist judges by providing supplementary legal arguments, specialized technical knowledge, or broader social and economic context. They help the court understand the wider public policy implications of a potential ruling, preventing a decision from being based solely on the narrow interests of the plaintiff and defendant.

A plaintiff is the individual, business, or entity that initiates a civil lawsuit.
