Subpoena
A template isn’t enough to win in court.
Filing the right document matters — but so does the research behind it, the facts that support it, and your ability to argue it in front of a judge. The LAW Accelerator™ helps you build legal documents backed by real case law, grounded in your specific facts, and formatted for your court.
- WHAT IS A SUBPOENA? A subpoena is a legal document that orders a person or entity that is not a party to the case to provide testimony relevant to a legal proceeding.
- WHY WOULD I NEED A SUBPOENA? You would need a subpoena if you need to compel someone not a party to the case to provide testimony that is relevant to your case but that the person or entity is unwilling or unable to provide voluntarily.
- WHEN WOULD I NEED A SUBPOENA? You would need a subpoena after you have exhausted all other options for obtaining the testimony you need and you believe that the person or entity you are seeking to compel has the information you need. The court typically sets a deadline for issuing subpoenas, which is usually a specific number of days before the scheduled hearing or trial.
- HOW WOULD I USE A SUBPOENA? You would use a subpoena to order a person or entity to appear at a hearing or trial and provide testimony that is relevant to the case. The subpoena should be served on the person or entity in accordance with the rules for service of process, and should include specific instructions for complying with the subpoena.
- WHAT’S THE PROCESS? We’ll guide you through the process of completing a subpoena that sets out the information you need and the person or entity you are seeking to compel to provide it. In the end, you will download a properly formatted subpoena to serve on the person or entity, along with any necessary instructions for complying with the subpoena.
