What is a "habeas court"?
I was reading some summaries of US Surpeme Court outcomes and came across this term many times. How does a habeas court differ from other courts?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

My understanding is that it is a court that rules on whether habeas corpus is being violated.
Here is a legal ruling which uses the phrase "habeas court" in context several times:

And here is more information on habeas corpus:
