Can a civil defendant acting In Pro Per subpoena documents directly or must he subpoena through the court?
(I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.) The answer almost certainly depends on the rules of civil procedure for the jurisdiction in question. ...but that being said, in many cases the subpoena will need to be signed by either an attorney licensed to practice before that court, or the clerk of court. If so, you can get a blank, signed form from the clerk. Then, when you serve the subpoena, you must generally also file a copy of the subpoena and a "certificate of service" (documenting how and when you served the subpoena) with the court. This is presumably to establish a timeline, in case you need to petition the court to compel enforcement of an unanswered subpoena.
