A quick definition of extraordinary writ:

Extraordinary writ: A type of legal document called a writ that is used in special situations when a regular court process won't work. It's like a special request to a higher court to step in and help solve a problem.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An extraordinary writ is a legal order issued by a higher court to a lower court, government official, or other party to perform a specific action or to stop a specific action. It is called "extraordinary" because it is used in exceptional circumstances where other legal remedies are not sufficient.

Example: One example of an extraordinary writ is a writ of habeas corpus, which is used to challenge the legality of a person's detention or imprisonment. Another example is a writ of mandamus, which is used to compel a government official to perform a duty that they are legally required to do.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how extraordinary writs are used in specific situations where other legal remedies are not effective. A writ of habeas corpus is used when a person's liberty is at stake, and a writ of mandamus is used when a government official is not fulfilling their legal obligations. These writs are only used in exceptional circumstances and are considered a last resort when other legal options have been exhausted.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
