Certiorari is a writ of review issued by a higher court to a lower court. A means of getting an appellate court to review a lower court's decision. If an appellate court grants a writ of certiorari, it agrees to take the appeal. (Sometimes this is referred to as "granting cert.") See also Writ of Certiorari.
