The knee cap is located on the anterior side of the knee. It is embedded in the tendon of the thigh muscles. The knee cap serves the transmission of force while extending the knee and protects the internal regions of the joint. The knee joint is surrounded by a joint capsule.
Overview. Habeas corpus is a writ that is used to bring a party who has been criminally convicted in state court into federal court. Usually, writs of habeas corpus are used to review the legality of the partyâs arrest, imprisonment, or detention.
The procedure for the issuing of writs of habeas corpus was first codified by the Habeas Corpus Act 1679, following judicial rulings which had restricted the effectiveness of the writ. A previous act had been passed in 1640 to overturn a ruling that the command of the Queen was a sufficient answer to a petition of habeas corpus.
