Writ compelling attendance in court (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

subpoena

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">writ compelling attendance in court</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for subpoena that I've seen before include ""Under penalty" (Latin)" , "Order to appear in court" , "Writ commanding appearance in court" , "Writ ordering someone to attend a court" , "Court-attendance order" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
