Description

The document outlines a Petition for Writ of Mandamus, which differs from a typical petition mainly in its explicit purpose to compel a governmental entity to perform a duty it is legally obliged to complete, often relating to official records or actions. Key features of the form include fields for the details of the petitioner, case background, specific citations of statutes, and the explicit request for a court order to expunge records. Users should fill in the specific details appropriately and ensure all attachments, such as exhibits referenced in the petition, are included. It is suitable for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who handle expungement cases or actions involving court orders. The form can be used when a petitioner has fulfilled all conditions of their probation or sentence but faces obstacles in obtaining the required legal relief. Attorneys should ensure they articulate the urgency of the request clearly to avoid potential harm to the petitioner.
