lawyers Do NOT have License to Practice Law.

In some states, they do. This might be a recent thing, but it IS a thing, at least in some states.

Accordingly, if you can get a lawyer to be either an* 'amicus curiae'* and sit next to you (that is, if and when that time comes), that would serve to be perceived as not a threat to the Bar.

Sit next to you in a courtroom? I doubt you will ever get an attorney-at-law to do that, unless they are in an official capacity of representing you (IOW: acting FOR you and IN YOUR PLACE, legally).

A non-attorney-at-law who sits next to someone in court is referred to "assistance of counsel," which is guaranteed by the 6th Amendment in a criminal case, but not in a civil case. Even then, judges will try to stop it, but I have heard stories where it has been done.

Regarding "amicus curiae," that is not sitting next to someone in the courtroom. It means "friend of the court." That is a written document (amicus brief) filed with the court by someone who is not a party to the case. Institute for Justice does this frequently, as do many other attorneys. But you don't have to be an attorney to file one. You just have to be someone who has a relevant interest in the case, and usually it is to present what the law is (in the opinion of the person submitting the amicus brief).
