FAQ

Where can I file a state writ of habeas corpus? You can file in a common pleas court, a court of appeals, or the Ohio Supreme Court. Because a writ challenges the power of the person detaining you, you must file your petition in a court that has power over that person.

Today, habeas corpus is mainly used as a post-conviction remedy for state or federal prisoners who challenge the legality of the application of federal laws that were used in the judicial proceedings that resulted in their detention.

Federal courts decide disputes involving the U.S. Constitution, federal laws, disputes between states, and disputes involving more than $75,000 between residents of different states. At both the federal and state levels there are two kinds of courts: the trial court and the appellate court.

Whether you are a state or federal prisoner, a federal habeas petition claims that your imprisonment is illegal because your arrest, trial, or sentence violated federal law. This would be true if any aspect of your arrest, trial, or actual sentence violated a federal statute, treaty, or the U.S. Constitution.

In sum, in order for you, as a state prisoner, to obtain federal habeas relief, you must show that your rights were violated, that the violation was not harmless, and that the state court's ruling that your rights weren't violated and/or any violation was harmless was unreasonable.

A Writ of Habeas Corpus is usually filed by submitting a Petition, a Memorandum of Points and Authorities, a Declaration from the defendant, and other evidence which supports the Writ of Habeas Corpus. The Memorandum of Points of Authorities is a legal memorandum, which contains the legal arguments of the defendant.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 2: The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

The petitioner, typically through an attorney, files a writ of habeas corpus to the relevant court, usually the California Superior Court, and the arguments as to why the petitioner has been illegally detained. The petitioner's lawyer files a writ of habeas corpus to explain why they have been illegally detained.

Typical examples where a court has granted a habeas corpus petition include claims of new evidence discovered in the case, ineffective assistance of counsel, prosecutorial misconduct, incompetence to stand trial, and challenging conditions of confinement.
