Can I get a court order fast? I need a minsisterial duty performed.

I am fighting with a public college. I want to earn credit by examination. They refuse to give me credit by exam for no articulable reason. They do offer credit by exam, and the exams I want to take are even on a ''list,'' of pre-made exams, and there are even ''practice exams'' for me to study. I need the credit so I can apply to graduate school, basically. I don't want to miss the deadline. And the credits must be on my transcript like in the next 2 weeks. So here I fight with lazy government employees who just don't want to do their jobs. How do I force them to do their job here? Is there any particular kind of relief I can ask for to get a lazy government employee to perform a clear ministerial duty before I am injured? (I need a court order to compel the college to administer the exams right away, not months down the line.) And is there any specific action I would take to get this order? Petition for Writ of Mandate? Action for Specific Performance? What?

1. Who told you that you had a 'right' to credit by exam?

2. IF you do, then you could file an

'emergency' ExParte for a Writ. To convince a court to do so would require clear and convincing proof of your 'right' in your present circumstances, and of their unreasonable refusal, and of the realistic possibility of a court order achieving what you ask in the time you ask, and of the need for such emergency order.

Such legal action would be a bit costly, and there is NO guarantee of success.

So, if you can clearly show the basis of your claim of 'right', and are prepared to invest the money necessary, feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.
