What does the court grant to a case to tell the parties that it will hear the case?
If you're referring to the US Supreme Court, it grants a writ of certiorari, which is a court order issued to the lower court to send case records for review. Certiorari is Latin for "to inform" (or show or apprise).A writ of certiorari is a communication from an appellate court to a lower court, not to the parties in a case. If the justices grant a party's petition, the Clerk of Court notifies the parties' counsel of record, per Rule 16 of the Rules of the Court[2010].
What is a Writ of Certiorari?
A writ of certiorari (Latin: "to be informed") is an order from an appellate court to a lower court to send the records for a specified case under review.A writ of certiorari orders a lower court to deliver its records in a case so that the higher court may review it.When the US Supreme Court issues a writ of certiorari, it means they have granted a party's petition for writ of certiorari(request) to consider a case under the Court's appellate jurisdiction.In reality, issuance of a formal writ of certiorari is obsolete. Today, the US Supreme Court Clerk of Court typically requests case files from the lower courts using routine administrative processes, rather than serving a court order. The justices initiate this process when they agree to grantcertiorari to a case.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
What is the time limit on filing a petition for a writ of certiorari?
A petition for a writ of certiorari is supposed to be filed within 90 days of judgment entered from the last court of appeal, per rule 13 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States. The justices have discretion to extend the time by as many as 60 days, but rarely grant this permission.Rule 13. Review on Certiorari: Time for PetitioningUnless otherwise provided by law, a petition for a writ of certiorari to review a judgment in any case, civil or crimi­nal, entered by a state court of last resort or a United States court of appeals (including the United States Court of Ap­peals for the Armed Forces) is timely when it is filed with the Clerk of this Court within 90 days after entry of the judgment. A petition for a writ of certiorari seeking review of a judgment of a lower state court that is subject to discre­tionary review by the state court of last resort is timely when it is filed with the Clerk within 90 days after entry of the order denying discretionary review.The Clerk will not file any petition for a writ of certio­rari that is jurisdictionally out of time. See, e. g., 28 U. S. C. § 2101(c).The time to file a petition for a writ of certiorari runs from the date of entry of the judgment or order sought to be reviewed, and not from the issuance date of the mandate (or its equivalent under local practice). But if a petition for re­hearing is timely filed in the lower court by any party, or if the lower court appropriately entertains an untimely peti­tion for rehearing or sua sponte considers rehearing, the time to file the petition for a writ of certiorari for all parties (whether or not they requested rehearing or joined in the petition for rehearing) runs from the date of the denial of rehearing or, if rehearing is granted, the subsequent entry of judgment.A cross-petition for a writ of certiorari is timely when it is filed with the Clerk as provided in paragraphs 1, 3, and 5 of this Rule, or in Rule 12.5. However, a conditional cross­-petition (which except for Rule 12.5 would be untimely) will not be granted unless another party's timely petition for a writ of certiorari is granted.For good cause, a Justice may extend the time to file a petition for a writ of certiorari for a period not exceeding 60 days. An application to extend the time to file shall set out the basis for jurisdiction in this Court, identify the judgment sought to be reviewed, include a copy of the opinion and any order respecting rehearing, and set out specific reasons why an extension of time is justified. The application must be filed with the Clerk at least 10 days before the date the peti­tion is due, except in extraordinary circumstances. For the time and manner of presenting the application, see Rules 21, 22, 30, and 33.2. An application to extend the time to file a petition for a writ of certiorari is not favored.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
How many justices must agree to grant certiorari?
4 Four of the nine justices must vote to grant a writ of certiorari (the so-called Rule of Four). Only a fraction of the petitions submitted to the Supreme Court will be accepted; approximately 7500 petitions are presented each year and somewhere between 80 and 150 are granted.
How many signatures does the US Supreme Court need to issue a Writ of Certiorari?
The answer depends on the petitioner's filing status with the US Supreme Court.A regular petitioner who files and is paying docketing fees is instructed to submit forty copies of his or her petition to the Court. Many petitioners are granted leave to file "in forma pauperis," a discretionary decision on the part of the Court that allows indigent and low-income individuals to file without paying a docketing fee, and to submit an original with only ten copies of his or her petition, plus ten copies of a motion for leave to file in forma pauperis. Prison inmates may also file a petition for a writ of certiorari. If proceding pro se (self-representing) they are only required to provide one copy of the petition and one motion.Rule 12 of the current Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States, which went into effect on February 16, 2010, explains the requirements for submission:Rule 12. Review on Certiorari: How Sought; PartiesExcept as provided in paragraph 2 of this Rule, the peti­tioner shall file 40 copies of a petition for a writ of certiorari, prepared as required by Rule 33.1, and shall pay the Rule 38(a) docket fee.A petitioner proceeding in forma pauperis under Rule 39 shall file an original and 10 copies of a petition for a writ of certiorari prepared as required by Rule 33.2, together with an original and 10 copies of the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. A copy of the motion shall pre­cede and be attached to each copy of the petition.An in­mate confined in an institution, if proceeding in forma pau­peris and not represented by counsel, need file only an original petition and motion.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
How does the U.S Sepreme court select its cases?
The rule of four. It requires at least four of the nine Justices of the Supreme Court to agree to grant the Petition for Certiorari. If four Justices agree to grant the petition, the Supreme Court will consider the case. A Petition for Certiorari is granted in very, very few, selected cases--fewer than 100 a year-by the Supreme Court of the United States.Each justice on the U.S. Supreme Court has a number of skilled law clerks working for him or her and these clerks review every writ of certiorari and submit a "cert memo" regarding the writs they review to the justice they are assigned. The judges review the memos and hold a conference to determine which of these cases should go on the court's docket.The "Rule of Four" controls matters when deciding which issues the high court will hear. If four justices agree that a specific writ of certiorari should be granted, then the case will be placed on the Supreme Court's docket and an order stating that certiorari has been granted will be issued to the petitioner.According to Supreme Court Rules, Section III, Rule 10, the following guidelines help justices determine which cases are viable for review (called cert. worthy):Rule 10. Considerations Governing Review on Writ of CertiorariReview on a writ of certiorari is not a matter of right, but of judicial discretion. A petition for a writ of certiorari will be granted only for compelling reasons. The following, although neither controlling nor fully measuring the Court's discretion, indicate the character of the reasons the Court considers:(a) a United States court of appeals has entered a decision in conflict with the decision of another United States court of appeals on the same important matter; has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with a decision by a state court of last resort; or has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings, or sanctioned such a departure by a lower court, as to call for an exercise of this Court's supervisory power;(b) a state court of last resort has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with the decision of another state court of last resort or of a United States court of appeals;(c) a state court or a United States court of appeals has decided an important question of federal law that has not been, but should be, settled by this Court, or has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with relevant decisions of this Court.A petition for a writ of certiorari is rarely granted when the asserted error consists of erroneous factual findings or the misapplication of a properly stated rule of law.
What is the order from the court to send up records is a?
The US Supreme Court issues a writ of certiorari. Intermediate appellate courts used to call case records from trial courts on a writ of error, also called a writ of coram nobis; however, this practice has become nearly obsolete, abolished completely in civil cases, and rarely used (although not explicitly prohibited) in criminal cases.Federal Appeals below the Supreme CourtAccording to Title II, Rule 3, of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure (FRAP), appeals "as of right" (non-discretionary) are filed as a Notice of Appeal with the Clerk of Court for the District Court from which the appeal is being made. The Clerk then serves the notice of appeal to the appropriate parties, including the appellate court. Records are sent as a part of standard procedure without requiring an explicit writ or order from the appellate court.When an appeal is discretionary (the appellate court has the option of hearing or refusing the case), Rule 5 provides for Appeal by Permission. The party requesting the appeal must file a Petition for Permission to Appeal. If the Circuit Court files an order granting permission, the appellant pays court fees and the Clerk of Court for the District Court proceeds to serve notice and forward court records, as noted above.Some sources generally refer to a discretionary order granting appeal as a writ of certiorari; however, in the United States, this term is typically understood to refer to the US Supreme Court rather than the Circuit Courts.State AppealsMost states have adopted the FRAP with amendments tailored to state procedures and laws. As with the federal court system, the Clerk of Court forwards lower court records to the appropriate appellate court as a matter of procedure when the appeal is properly filed and, if necessary, approved.

What does The Rule of Four refers to?
The Rule of Four refers to a guideline in the United States Supreme Court that dictates the Court will hear a case if at least four of the nine justices agree to grant a writ of certiorari. This rule is significant as it allows for a minority of justices to influence the Court's docket, ensuring that important legal questions can be addressed even if they do not have a majority backing. It serves to protect the interests of minority viewpoints within the Court.
What is the Rule of Four in the US Supreme Court?
The Rule of Four means four of the nine justices must agree to hear a case in order for it to be accepted on appeal. If four or more justices think the case is worth the Court's time, then the Supreme Court will issue a writ of certiorari to the lower court ordering them to send the case files to the Supreme Court, and the case will be placed on the docket.
