Coming today to LitigationWorld: What happens if the district court issues an order that you'd like to appeal but can't because the court considers it non-final and won't certify it for appeal. Wait until after the trial concludes? If it's a critical issue, you should instead consider a writ of mandamus. In this issue of LitigationWorld Seattle litigator and motion practice expert Kim Gunning explains how to file a petition for this extraordinary writ, the applicable rules, hurdles you'll need to overcome, and factors that will work in your favor. Don't write your writ without reading this article first. Also, don't miss the LitigationWorld Pick of the Week for the final word on "that" versus "which" in legal writing.
