A subpoena ad testificandum is a subpoena that directs a witness to appear in court to testify. The Latin phrase "ad testificandum" means "to testify." The other type of subpoena is a subpoena duces tecum, which commands a person to bring physical items such as business records to court. The Latin phrase "duces tecum " means "bring with you." It can be difficult to pronounce for most people.

What happens if a signed witness does not show up to court for a criminal case?
If anyone has been subpoenaed (summoned) to appear in court and fails to do so, they can be held in contempt. This applies to defendants as well as witnesses. If a witness fails to appear, the court can dismiss the case or continue it to a later date when the witness' attendance is more likely. Which one will occur depends on the seriousness of the charge and whether it is likely the witness can be located and compelled to appear. The court can also decide to move forward on the case without the witness, if their testimony is not crucial to either side's case.
