Writ Of Certiorari Process
Summary
A writ of certiorari is an order by a higher court to review a lower courts decision. It is often used by the Supreme Court to select cases for review. A collateral attack challenges a court decision in a different proceeding, not through direct appeal, arguing that the original court lacked jurisdiction or violated constitutional rights. You can petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court if you have lost your case in the Arkansas Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court accepts very few cases, usually those with significant federal or constitutional issues. Legal aid services and veterans legal services may provide additional support.Full Conversation
Can I file a writ of certorius if I've already lost my case with the Arkansas supreme Court
Hi Patricia,
You can petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court if you have lost your case in the Arkansas Supreme Court. Here are key points:
- A writ of certiorari requests the U.S. Supreme Court to review the lower court's decision.
- The U.S. Supreme Court accepts very few cases, usually those with significant federal or constitutional issues.
Would you like more information on the procedure to file this petition or need help finding legal representation?
Legal aid says that they cannot help me because they do not do appeals or any big cases and I cannot find any pro bono attorney to help me even though my husband is a veteran we are about to be homeless and we cannot afford an attorney
