The writ of certiorari is a legal order issued by a higher court to review the decision of a lower court. It is commonly used by the Supreme Court of the United States to determine whether to hear a case. The writ allows the higher court to examine the records of the lower court to ensure that legal principles and procedures were correctly applied. If granted, it signifies that the higher court will consider the case, potentially leading to a new ruling or clarification of the law.
