Writs and Appeals Lawyers

Writs and appeals are a part of both the criminal and civil justice systems. Writs provide special powers or make special demands. In the days when our Constitution was being drafted, they were a more common way to frame an issue or request action by a court. An appeal of course is a very common feature of our justice system and occurs frequently in both civil and criminal cases. Writs and appeals are based on briefs, motions and oral arguments. For that reason, most people hire a skilled lawyer when such actions are necessary.
