Habeas Corpus
October 3, 2023
Habeas corpus is a fundamental legal principle originating from English common law, often referred to as the “Great Writ of Liberty.” Latin for "you shall have the body," it is a legal procedure that protects individuals from unlawful detention. By invoking habeas corpus, a person detained or imprisoned can petition the court to determine whether their imprisonment is lawful.
