Per saltum
Per saltum is a Latin phrase, meaning "hopping". It is used to mean that someone has reached a position or degree without going through the posts or lower grades according to the established order.[1] For example, as in some Protestant churches, being consecrated bishop without first being ordained priest.[citation needed]
The phrase is also used in the legal term certiorari per saltum, meaning the possibility of seeking a resolution before a higher court, bypassing intermediate courts.[clarification needed][citation needed]
