It is a "friend of the court" brief. In important cases (typically in the US Supreme Court, but sometimes in other courts), organizations that are not involved in the dispute sometimes file briefs, inserting an argument for why the court should rule one way or the other.
For example, in a case like Brown v. Board, where an individual is suing the school system asking that the schools be racially integrated, the court must determine whether or not it is legal for the system to segregate schools. Organizations such as NAACP would file amicus briefs, arguing that segregating is illegal.
