Writs

A Writ is a legal procedure requesting a certain action be taken. Generally, a writ is utilized under extraordinary circumstances and reviewed immediately by the court. It is an essential procedural tool for defendants if immediate redress of an issue is needed or appeals have been exhausted.

Common reasons for seeking a writ include:

• Failure by a defense counsel to make timely objections
• Immediate relief for a defendant seeking to prevent an injustice
• Review of a new argument after defendant’s unsuccessful appeal
