The correct 'style' of the case is New Jersey v. TLO, not the other way around.
"Amicus curiae" is a Latin term meaning "friend of the court". A person or an organization which is not a party to the case but has an interest in an issue before the court may file a brief or participate in the argument as a 'friend of the court.'
In the cited case, several Amici Curiae were filed on BOTH sides of the argument..
Briefs of Amici Curiae urging affirmation, and the upholding the NJ Supreme Court ruling, were filed for the American Civil Liberties Union et al. by Mary L. Heen, Burt Neuborne, E. Richard Larson, Barry S. Goodman, and Charles S. Sims; and for the Legal Aid Society of the City of New York et al. by Janet Fink and Henry Weintraub.
Filing Amici Curiae briefs urging the overturning of the NJ Supreme Court ruling were filed for the United States by Solicitor General Lee, Deputy Solicitor General Frey, and Kathryn A. Oberly; for the National Association of Secondary School Principals et al. by Ivan B. Gluckman; for the National School Boards Association by Gwendolyn H. Gregory, August W. Steinhilber, and Thomas A. Shannon; for the Washington Legal Foundation by Daniel J. Popeo and Paul D. Kamenar; and for the New Jersey School Boards Association by Paula A. Mullaly and Thomas F. Scully.
The US Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision overturned the NJ Supreme Court.
VERY briefly, the Amici Curiae filed in favor of the NJ Supreme Court ruling cited Constitutional grounds for search by school authoriites, while the Amici Curaie filed in opposition to the NJ Supreme Court ruling, focused on the over-riding necessity and ability of the educational system to act En Loco Parentis and safeguard not only the individual student but the safety of the school population as a whole.

What does the legal pharse mean friend of the court?
"amicus curiae" is a term from New Latin, meaning "friend of the court,"* and usually refers to an attorney not directly involved in the case either personally or professionally, and supposedly neither for the plaintiff nor for the defendant. However, this attorney usually represents someone or some group with an interest in the outcome, as when both pro choice and pro life groups hire attorneys to file briefs with the judge expounding on their point of view in a case of an individual suing a clinic, an insurance company, or a governmental agency regarding a particular instance involving abortion .The plural term is "amici curiae,"* when several attorneys enter the case in such a manner. They are often invited by the court, or apply to the court (the judge trying the case, really) for permission to do so.*Since "curiae" is itself the plural of "curia," Latin for "court," these phrases literally mean friend or friends of the courts; while "friend of the court" would literally be translated as "amicus curia," but virtually no judge or attorney cares enough about Latin grammar anymore to bother with this fine distinction.
