A writ of certiorari is a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal from a lower court.
The word certiorari comes from a Latin word meaning “to be more fully informed.”
The act of “granting certiorari” means the Supreme Court agrees to hear a case.
Certiorari must be requested by submitting a Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court grants only about 1.1% of the thousands of petitions for certiorari submitted each term.
Denying a petition for certiorari has no effect on the lower court’s decision or the laws involved.
Granting a petition for certiorari requires the affirmative votes of at least four Supreme Court justices.
