Latin `friend of the court' in law, a
barrister advising the court in a legal case
as a neutral person, not representing either
side. In England for example, where the
public interest is concerned, the Attorney
General or his representative may be asked to
express an opinion. Professional bodies such
as the Law Society may be represented in
order to give an opinion on matters affecting
their members.
