Prerogative writ
"Prerogative writ" is a historic term for a writ (official order) that directs the behavior of another arm of government, such as an agency, official, or other court. It was originally available only to the Crown under English law, and reflected the discretionary prerogative and extraordinary power of the monarch. The term may be considered antiquated, and the traditional six comprising writs are often called the extraordinary writs and described as extraordinary remedies.
Subpoena duces tecum
A subpoena duces tecum (pronounced in English səˈpiːnə_ˌdjuːsiːz_ˈtiːkəm ), or subpoena for production of evidence, is a court summons ordering the recipient to appear before the court and produce documents or other tangible evidence for use at a hearing or trial. In some jurisdictions, it can also be issued by legislative bodies such as county boards of supervisors. The summons is known by various names in different jurisdictions. The term subpoena duces tecum is used in the United States, as well as some other common law jurisdictions such as South Africa and Canada.
Mandamus
Le mandamus est un extraordinaire où une cour supérieure ordonne à une cour subordonnée, à une entreprise ou à une autorité publique de faire ou ne pas faire un acte spécifique qui n'est pas entièrement privé. Pour obtenir un mandamus, le requérant doit être capable de démontrer qu'il est en droit de contraindre la partie adverse d'exécuter ou de ne pas exécuter l'acte ciblé. L'acte doit être de nature publique et doit être impératif (et non discrétionnaire).
Mesure d'instruction in futurum
Une mesure d'instruction in futurum est en droit français une mesure qui peut être ordonnée par un juge à la demande de tout intéressé, sur requête ou en référé, dès lors que cet intéressé justifie d'un motif légitime de conserver ou d'établir avant tout procès la preuve des faits dont pourrait dépendre le litige. Elle permettra donc utilement à l'intéressé de faire établir une preuve avant même d'engager un procès, ou de la conserver lorsqu'il existe un risque que cette preuve dépérisse.
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (officially abbreviated Fed. R. Civ. P.; colloquially FRCP) govern civil procedure in United States district courts. They are the companion to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Rules promulgated by the United States Supreme Court pursuant to the Rules Enabling Act become part of the FRCP unless, within seven months, the United States Congress acts to veto them. The Court's modifications to the rules are usually based upon recommendations from the Judicial Conference of the United States, the federal judiciary's internal policy-making body.
Jury trial
A jury trial, or trial by jury, is a legal proceeding in which a jury makes a decision or findings of fact. It is distinguished from a bench trial in which a judge or panel of judges makes all decisions. Jury trials are used in a significant share of serious criminal cases in many but not all common law judicial systems. The majority of common law jurisdictions in Asia (such as Singapore, India, Pakistan and Malaysia) have abolished jury trials on the grounds that juries are susceptible to bias.
