A quick definition of mittimus:

MITTIMUS: A mittimus is a legal order that tells a jailer to keep someone in jail until they are told to release them. It can also be a paper that shows what happened in a court case where someone was found guilty and sentenced to jail. Sometimes, a mittimus can also be a paper that tells one court to send their records to another court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A mittimus is a court order or warrant that directs a jailer to keep a person in custody until they are released by another order. It is a Latin term that means "we send."

Examples:

  • If a person is arrested and charged with a crime, a judge may issue a mittimus to keep them in jail until their trial.
  • A certified transcript of a prisoner's conviction or sentencing proceedings is also called a mittimus.
  • A writ directing the transfer of records from one court to another is another type of mittimus.

These examples illustrate how a mittimus is used in the legal system to keep a person in custody or transfer records between courts. It is an important tool for maintaining order and ensuring that justice is served.
