FAQ

What is an example of a writ? A writ of mandamus can be filed against a court or a government official. For example, if a government official does not release information that should be made public, a writ of mandamus can be filed, asking the court to compel the official to release the information.

In federal courts, these orders most frequently appear when a party to a suit wants to appeal a judge's decision but is blocked by rules against interlocutory appeals. Instead of appealing directly, the party simply sues the judge, seeking a mandamus compelling the judge to correct their earlier mistake.

Writs of Mandamus: A request to a federal court to issue an order to a government officer to perform a mandatory duty on the case. This remedy is commonly sought when the immigration agency has delayed in making a decision on an application. Habeas Corpus: A legal action challenging the unlawful detention of a person.

There are three main types of writs: writs of mandate (sometimes called ?mandamus?), writs of prohibition, and writs of review (sometimes called ?certiorari?).

A writ is a formal, legal document that orders a person or entity to perform or to cease performing a specific action or deed. Writs are drafted by courts or other entities with jurisdictional or legal power. Warrants and subpoenas are two common types of writs.
