A quick definition of writ of error:

A writ of error is a legal order from a higher court to a lower court, asking for the records of a case to be reviewed for any mistakes made during the trial. This is done to make sure that the law was followed correctly. In civil cases, this writ has been replaced by other legal rules. In criminal cases, there is a different legal process that is used instead.

A more thorough explanation:

A writ of error is a legal term that refers to a document issued by an appellate court. The document demands that a lower court sends the record of a case to the appellate court for review. The purpose of the review is to determine if there were any errors of law committed during the legal proceedings.

For example, if a person is convicted of a crime and they believe that the judge made a mistake during the trial, they can file a writ of error. The appellate court will then review the case to determine if there were any errors of law that affected the outcome of the trial.

In civil cases, the writ of error has been abolished by Rule 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. However, in criminal cases, the writ of error is still available but is rarely used. Instead, a post-conviction remedy called 28 U.S.C. § 2255 is used.

Overall, a writ of error is a legal document that allows a higher court to review the legal proceedings of a lower court to determine if there were any errors of law.
