I've been trying to find out what a "writ of mandamus" is called in Maryland, and what one looks like.
It appears to be a useful tool to get reluctant local jurisdictions to carry out their executive obligations.
Well, I did get links to a definition at FindLaw, but the problem is I knew that already.
I've trundled all over the Web seeking any sort of information. Maryland doesn't seem to call it by the name "mandamus."
Meanwhile, the legal terms of art are enough to baffle anyone. Who knows what category it might fall into?
So -- MdKossacks from the legal world: where do I see an example of one?
And apologies for the short diary.
