Ask the court clerk to have the judge issue a subpoena for whomever for purposes of testimony...and an additional subpoena (duces tecum) if that person is to bring any records with them to court, * Judges only deal with such matters if the case is being brought in a small community. The office of the clerk of the circuit court or other court venue handles all the documentation pertaining to civil litigation. It is the plaintiff's or the plaintiff's legal counsel's responsibility to request any additional interrogatories (discovery documents). Duces Tecum is a procedure generally reserved for civil litigation by businesses or by a prosecutor. In civil litigation by/for an individual (plaintiff) a Request For Production of Documents is used.

∙ 13y agoA subpoena is a court order commanding someone to appear at a specific time and place to give testimony. If you also want them to bring tangible material with them, the term is "subpoena duces tecum".
The clerk of the court in which the case is pending generally has the authority to issue the subpoena, but the party wishing it has to request it, often prepare the required form, and pay for its issuance and service. Typically, the county sheriff or a special process server is used to served the subpoena (for a fee). A witness is usually also paid a small fee to reimburse for mileage, which is set by law.
