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.
United States law affords persons the right to petition the federal courts for a writ of habeas corpus. Individual states also afford persons the ability to petition their own state court systems for habeas corpus pursuant to their respective constitutions and laws when held or sentenced by state authorities.
