The writ of habeas corpus is provided for under the Constitution and may not be suspended except in emergencies by the President.
The writ is a common law writ issued by a higher court to an authority or lower court commanding the official(s) to produce a person who is incarcerated and to give good cause why the person who is incarcerated should not be freed, or whatever sentence imposed should not be vacated or reduced.
Its used to release prisoners who are charged with crimes that are either not crimes, or have been wrongfully convicted under state or federal law.
It is also used by people who are held against their will in psychiatric hospitals, nursing homes and anywhere else where they are involuntarily committed.
Hope that answers your question.
What is a writ hibiscuses it's a law term?
I'm sorry, I almost died laughing at this question! The person who told you that this was a plant was correct. What you were asking about is: writ of habeas corpus, requires that a person be brought before a court or judge to determine if they can be legally jailed or are to be set free. Thats the general idea, anyway.
Reply:A hibiscus is a plant. Why don't you google habeus corpus?
