The use of the word "prays" when requesting something from a judge/court is still regularly used in petitions.

Interesting tidbit - The use of the word "prays" when requesting something from a judge/court is still regularly used in petitions.
Like someone said in this thread, there are other words that can be used like "request."
Request is regularly used. However, pray is used when you are trying to be more deferential and would be akin to using "implore" vs "asks."
