Certiorari (United States)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Certiorari ([ sɜrʃiərɛəraɪ ] or [ sɜrʃiərɛəri ], from Latin certiorari (volumus) (we want to obtain) information ', short and cert ) referred to laws of the United States since the Judiciary Act of 1925 a step as a combination of the approval of an inserted appeal and the announcement of the devolution effect to the outside world. In this case, the appeal court issues a writ of certiorari .

The term goes back historically to the litigation of Ulpian and describes the procedural act with which a higher court ( iudex ad quem ) turns to a lower court ( iudex a quo ) to review its decision. Today the term is freely translated as “send the court file”, in the general sense that a superior court requests the trial file from a subordinate.

The introduction of a Certiorari is being discussed for the European Court of Justice .
