A writ of certiorari is a request submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court to review a lower court decision. The purpose of the writ is to determine whether a significant legal issue is involved in the case, and whether the lower court decision was correct. The Supreme Court has discretion to grant or deny the writ, and typically grants it in cases where there is a conflict among the lower courts on the legal issue in question or where there is a significant constitutional question to be resolved.
