What is Meeting Warrants?

Corporate Board meetings must have a quorum of shareholders present in order to make important governance decisions that cannot wait until the next board meeting.  In the event, a meeting lacks a quorum or cooperation from officers, a justice of the peace may be summoned to issue a meeting warrant to allow the meeting to open.
