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.
Because the writ of habeas corpus is not an appeal of a conviction, but a new civil action by the individual against the state, the first step is to file for a writ in the state trial court. In a sense, this action is like a new trial.
