A more thorough explanation:
RECORDARI
Recordari (ree-kor-dair-I) is a legal writ used as a substitute for an appeal to bring up for review a judgment of a justice of the peace or other court not of record.
Writs of recordari are most commonly used in North Carolina but are used infrequently in other states.
For instance, if a person is not satisfied with the judgment given by a justice of the peace, they can file a recordari to have the judgment reviewed by a higher court.
Another example is if a person is convicted in a court that is not of record, they can file a recordari to have the conviction reviewed by a higher court.
These examples illustrate how recordari is used as a legal writ to bring up for review a judgment of a lower court not of record.
