| | Prerogative writ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Use of writs at the trial court level has been greatly curtailed by the adoption of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and its state court counterparts, which specify that there is "one form of action". | | | The writs are issued in the name of the Crown, who is the nominal plaintiff, on behalf of the applicant. | | | The prerogative writs are a means by which the Crown, acting through its courts, effects control over inferior courts or public authorities throughout the kingdom. |

| | Habeas corpus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The "constitutional" writ of habeas corpus, which was originally understood to apply to the actions of the executive branch of the federal government, and not to the states, and then only to the jurisdiction of the court, should be distinguished from what can be called "statutory" habeas corpus. | | | The procedure for the issuing of writs of habeas corpus was first codified by the Habeas Corpus Act 1679, following judicial rulings which had restricted the effectiveness of the writ. | | | Then as now, the writ of habeas corpus was issued by a superior court in the name of the King, and commanded the addressee (a lower court, sheriff, or private subject) to produce the prisoner before the King's courts of law. |

| | Several of the prerogative writs (writs issued as a matter of sovereign right) still survive, notably habeas corpus and mandamus. | | | However, the principle, “no writ, no right” was at least partially overcome by the development of equity as a separate system of justice. | | | The common-law courts, which administered justice for the king, found their required authorization to take a case in the original writ issued out of the chancery. |

| | Ex parte Merryman |
| | That he (the officer having the petitioner in custody) was duly authorized by the president of the United States, in such cases, to suspend the writ of habeas corpus for the public safety. | | | The clause of the constitution, which authorizes the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, is in the 9th section of the first article. | | | Having the prisoner thus in custody upon these vague and unsupported accusations, he refuses to obey the writ of habeas corpus, upon the ground that he is duly authorized by the president to suspend it. |

| | Legal Definition of Mandamus |
| | The latter clause of the above section, authorizing this writ to be issued by the supreme court to persons holding office under the authority of the United States, is, therefore, not warranted by the constitution and void. | | | Mandamus is not a writ of right, it is not consequently granted of course, but only at the discretion of the court to whom the application for it is made; and this discretion is not exercised in favor of the applicant, unless some just and useful purpose may be answered by the writ. | | | This writ was introduced io prevent disorders from a failure of justice; therefore it ought to be used upon all occasions where the law has established no specific remedy, and where in justice and good government there ought to be one. |

| | The most common present-day usage of the writ is to appeal state criminal convictions to the federal courts when the petitioner believes his constitutional rights were violated by state procedure. | | | The privilege of the use of this writ as a safeguard against illegal imprisonment was highly regarded by the British colonists in America, and wrongful refusals to issue the writ were one of the grievances before the American Revolution. | | | President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus in 1861 at the beginning of the Civil War, and his decision was upheld by Congress—despite protests by Chief Justice Roger Taney that such suspension was not within the powers of the President. |

| | Jennifer Van Bergen: The Death of the Great Writ of Liberty |
| | While upholding due process, the Court ostensibly upheld the Writ of Habeas Corpus, also called the Great Writ of Liberty--the original use of which was to require the custodian of a person detained without charges to produce that person before a judge for a determination of the legitimacy of his detention. | | | Yet, considering that the "Great Writ" of habeas corpus arose out of unlawful detentions without probable cause,[5] it is hard to see why the Court would refused to apply criminal procedural protections to challenges to the detention of persons who have claimed innocence. | | | ("The King's Bench apparently accepted counsels' contention that the writ could be used to enforce the Magna Charta's guarantee [of due process], but responded that it could not look beyond the crown's return [e.g., reply, mandate], which stated on its face that the detention was lawfully authorized. |
