In law, certiorari is a court process to seek judicial review of a decision of a lower court or government agency. Certiorari comes from the name of an English prerogative writ, issued by a superior court to direct that the record of the lower court be sent to the superior court for review. The term is Latin for "to be made certain", and comes from the opening line of such writs, which traditionally began with the Latin words "Certiorari volumus...".

How is certiorari different than losing at lower courts and appealing your way up to Supreme Court?

I imagine the difference is something along the lines of the plaintiff has to appeal where as another could ask a higher court to review; probably elected officials or something.

Idk, I’m spitballing here and would love a follow up.

Another guess: Some of these lower Courts refused to even hear the case. Maybe that is different than hearing the case and making a ruling. You can appeal a ruling. Maybe certiorari is required when the Court does not even rule.

Some of these lower Courts heard and made a ruling. Rudy was saying, "We expected this ruling. This just gets us to the Supreme Court faster..."

I imagine it is saying there shouldn't be another reasonable interpretation by a higher court; it either is or it isn't.
