Lawyer pedes help out, what is "mandamus"?
A writ of mandamus is an order from a court to a government official of some sort, telling them to do their job. It is mostly obsolete in the US, but is still appropriate when a higher court needs to tell a lower court to stop fucking up.
Not a lawyer, but it's an order from a higher court (appeals in this case) to a lower court.
Not a lawyer, but it's basically an order from a superior court that a lower court has to follow.
“A judicial writ issued as a command to an inferior court or ordering a person to perform a public or statutory duty.” Is what I found.
It's what it was called when Flynn's lawyer asked the higher court to bitchslap Sullivan and order him to follow the law.
But the rest of the replies are also correct.
I like this explanation.
