Writ of certiorari- This is Latin for "to make more certain." This order directs a lower court to send its records on a case to the Supreme Court for review. This happens if one of the parties in a case claims that the lower court made an error. Nearly all cases come to the Supreme Court on appeal from a lower court.
Example of Certiorari Granted: Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruled 72 that a woman's right to have an abortion was protected by the due process of law clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In deciding to grant certiorari in Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court faced a thorny legal issue.
If your Writ of Certiorari is denied, it simply means that the appeals court decision agreed with the current law. While this may be hard to swallow, especially if you are on the wrong end of an expensive lawsuit, remember that the current law is not always in agreement with our sense of fairness.
The Supreme Court sometimes grants a writ of certiorari to resolve a "circuit split", when the federal appeals courts in two (or more) federal judicial circuits have ruled differently in similar situations. These are often called "percolating issues."
The denial of a petition for writ of certiorari does not have any effect on the case. The lower court's judgment still stands. Further, denial of cert. is not a stamp of approval by the higher court of the judgment in the lower court.
To be timely, a petition for writ of certiorari must be filed with the Clerk of the United States Supreme Court within 90 days of entry of judgment. The time to file a petition for writ of certiorari runs from the date of entry of the judgment sought to be reviewed, and not from the date of issuance of the mandate.
A case cannot, as a matter of right, be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. As such, a party seeking to appeal to the Supreme Court from a lower court decision must file a writ of certiorari. In the Supreme Court, if four Justices agree to review the case, then the Court will hear the case.
Writs of Certiorari The primary means to petition the court for review is to ask it to grant a writ of certiorari. This is a request that the Supreme Court order a lower court to send up the record of the case for review.Under certain instances, one Justice may grant a stay pending review by the entire Court.
A type of writ, meant for rare use, by which an appellate court decides to review a case at its discretion. The word certiorari comes from Law Latin and means "to be more fully informed." A writ of certiorari orders a lower court to deliver its record in a case so that the higher court may review it.
