A writ of body attachment is like a warrant, where it allows the sheriff to arrest you and bring you before the court to explain why you have not showed up to a prior hearing or proceeding. Often, there is a bond requirement that must be paid before being released if you are arrested on a writ of body attachment. These usually occur after failure to pay child support or failure to attend a motion to show cause. See this Illinois rule for an example: http://www.19thcircuitcourt.state.il.us/rules/rules15.htm#1505
