A writ of habeas corpus is a legal order requiring a person holding another to produce the detainee before a court to determine the lawfulness of the detention. It is often used to protect individuals from unlawful imprisonment. In contrast, a subpoena is a legal document that orders an individual to appear in court or produce evidence for a legal proceeding. While both are tools of the legal system, habeas corpus focuses on personal liberty, whereas a subpoena pertains to the gathering of evidence or testimony.
