A "Writ" is a special kind of order originating in the common law which allows judges to issue special types of remedies such as habeas corpus, certiorari, mandamus, and other forms of relief. "Prerogative Writs" are the most common kind, and they are used to direct another arm of government to do something.

The use of most Writs have grown quite rare in modern legal practice, and that makes the few cases that do hard to find, but we have got you covered! The main focus of Writs Magazine is finding and covering stories of recent instances of archaic common law writs, because we are passionate about them!
