What is a Writ of Certiorari?
A writ of certiorari is a way to have a higher court review the outcome of a lower court’s proceedings. The word ‘certioari’ means “to be more fully informed”. In this sense, a writ of certiorari orders a lower court to deliver its record in a case so the higher court may review it.
Often times, a writ of certiorari is a last resort for a defendant to have his or her case reviewed when it does not qualify for an appeal.
