The term ORDER COURT can be broken down into two crossword solutions: WRIT and RISE. A WRIT is a legal document issued by a court or other authority that grants an individual certain rights or orders someone to do something. A WRIT of habeas corpus, for example, is a court order requiring a person to be brought before a judge. A WRIT of mandamus is a court order requiring a public official to perform a duty. A WRIT of certiorari is an order from a higher court to a lower court to send up the records of a case for review. A WRIT of execution is a court order authorizing the seizure of property to satisfy a judgment. On the other hand, a RISE is an increase in rank or status. In the legal context, it refers to a promotion or advancement in a court of law. For example, a lawyer may be promoted from associate to partner in a law firm, or a judge may be promoted from district court to appellate court.
