The action is considered amicable because there is no dispute as to the facts but only as to the conclusions of law that a judge can reach from consideration of the facts. An amicable action is considered a justiciable controversy because there is a real and substantive disagreement between the parties as to the appropriate relief to be granted by the court.

A person with strong interest in or views on the subject matter of an action but not a party to the action may petition the court for permission to file a brief ostensibly on behalf of a party but actually to suggest a rationale consistent with its own views.

In appeals to the . courts of appeals an amicus brief may be filed only if accompanied by written consent of all parties or by leave of court granted on motion or at the request of the court except that consent or leave shall not be required when the brief is presented by the United States or an officer or agency thereof.
