Certiorari is a legal term originating from Latin, meaning "to be more certain." It refers to a type of writ issued by a higher court, particularly the Supreme Court, to review the decision of a lower court. This procedure allows the higher court to evaluate the legality and correctness of the lower court's ruling, often focusing on significant legal questions or issues of public interest. Certiorari is commonly used to select cases for review, as the Supreme Court has discretion over which cases it chooses to hear.
