During a trial, a person or organization with an interest in the case who is not directly involved in the prosecution or defense, may submit an amicus curiae to the court. An amicus curiae is a petition in which the writer makes an argument about the case as a "friend of the court." The American Civil Liberties Union does this frequently-though not participating in cases directly, the ACLU often submits amicus curiae to trial and appellate courts during trials that concern civil liberties (like the freedom of speech, freedom of religious expression, etc.).
