Writs

Writs are common law and the Supreme Court has common law original jurisdiction over them. When you file these types of writs, they have to hear them, that doesn’t mean they agree to take the case.

Writs date back to the 12th century. They are a court’s written order, in the name of the state or other competent legal authority, commanding the addressee to do, or refrain from doing, some specific act.

Competency may be questioned.
