英文字彙 [求英文 amici 的解釋]

Question

amici 這個字出現在一篇法律文章裡The law enforcement amici focus on § 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits states from practices that deny or abridge the right to vote on account of race or color. 又另一段The amici point out that the law, initially enacted in 1868 as part of Florida Reconstruction, intended to discriminate against blacks. One proponent of the law asserted that disenfranchisement would keep Florida from becoming "niggerized." 很顯然這不是拼錯 是個名詞amici 這個字是什麼意思呢?
