What does granted certiorari mean?

Granted certiorari refers to the Supreme Court's decision to review a lower court's ruling. When the Court grants certiorari, it agrees to hear the case, allowing for an examination of the legal issues involved. This process is typically reserved for cases that have significant legal questions or where there is a need to resolve conflicting decisions among lower courts. The term "certiorari" itself comes from Latin, meaning "to be informed of."
