Here's a plain English summary of this rule.
This rule gets rid of an old process called "bill of exceptions," which used to be one way to ask a higher court to review a case. That option no longer exists under Idaho's current rules.
The rule also explains how two other legal tools, writs of certiorari and writs of review, should be handled. Instead of having their own separate process, these writs now follow the same steps as writs of prohibition. A writ of prohibition is a court order that stops a lower court or government body from taking an action it does not have the legal power to take.
In short, if someone wants to use a writ of certiorari or writ of review, they need to follow the same filing and procedural steps that apply to writs of prohibition. This keeps the process simpler and more consistent, since people only need to learn one set of steps instead of several different ones.
