Writ (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

subpoena

'writ' is the definition.
(I know that subpoena is a type of writ)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for subpoena that I've seen before include "Hearing reminder" , "Write ordering someone to court" , "Writ commanding court attendance" , "calls for appearance in court" , "A summons to attend court case" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Guardian.
