Law Reports
Law Reports. Reports of judgments of courts on points of law, published for the purpose of being used as precedents (see (REPORTS). Prior to 1865, these reports were all executed and published as mere private speculations, one reporter or pair of reporters being usually, though not always, accredited by the chief judge of each Court. For an account of these reporters and their works, see Handbook of English Law Reports, by Master Fox. In 1865 'The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales' began to publish monthly the reports called The Law Reports. These, though perhaps the best known, have no monopoly-for contemporaneous monthly reports are published under the name of The Law Journal, and contemporaneous weekly reports under the names of The Law Times Reports, The Solicitors' Journal and Weekly Reporter and All England Reports, and The Times Law Reports. All reports made by members of the Bar and published on their responsibility may be cited in argument. For abbrev...

writ
writ [Old English, something written] 1 : a letter that was issued in the name of the English monarch from Anglo-Saxon times to declare his grants, wishes, and commands 2 : an order or mandatory process in writing issued in the name of the sovereign or of a court or judicial officer commanding the person to whom it is directed to perform or refrain from performing a specified act NOTE: The writ was a vital official instrument in the old common law of England. A plaintiff commenced a suit at law by choosing the proper form of action and obtaining a writ appropriate to the remedy sought; its issuance forced the defendant to comply or to appear in court and defend. Writs were also in constant use for financial and political purposes of government. While the writ no longer governs civil pleading and has lost many of its applications, the extraordinary writs esp. of habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, and certiorari indicate its historical importance as an instrument of judicial auth...

Mandate
Mandate [fr. mandatum, Lat.], a judicial command, charge, commission.Also, a bailment of goods, without reward, to be carried from place to place, or to have some act performed about them. The person employing is called in the Civil Law mandans or mandator, and the person employed mandatarius or mandatory.
