When the Supreme Court decides to accept a case, they issue a writ of certiorari. This formal order directs a lower court to send the case records for review. The decision to grant certiorari indicates that the Court believes the case involves significant legal questions or issues that warrant their attention. Typically, the Court only accepts a small percentage of the cases presented to it.
