Undo revision 1142516 by RSM (talk)
A '''writ of certiorari''' is an order issued by the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] directing the lower court to transmit records for a case for which it will hear on appeal. Justices vote in secret to determine which cases are granted certiorari; 4 justices must vote in the affirmative for this to be done.
The Supreme Court "grants cert" in only about 1% of the cases appealed to it, and often denies cert in socially controversial cases (such as [[abortion]] or [[conversion therapy]]).
