Subpoenas

The court has many options. They can include a bench warrant with jail time or a fine.

contempt charges can be filed

The answer depends on the the jurisdiction - and of course, the judge. Usually you must show the judge sufficient proof that the work email contains critical information relevant to your divorce. Although it is not the same as a search warrant, if you think in terms of what is required for a search warrant, you won't be that far off from what would be expected if you wanted to subpoena a spouse's work email. It may be simpler to approach the employer who actually owns the work email (in most jurisdictions employers own the email, not the employee).

A subpoena has to be handed to the person directly involved and to no other person. They don't know their law well or they are trying to scare you! Did you ever think to ask who they handed this subpoena to? However, when you take out a loan, use a credit card then you should be responsible and they want their money, so they can use that court order to freeze your bank account. It's best to meet up with your debtor and come to some agreement. You want to keep your credit rating shiny and they just want their money, so they would be willing to come to some compromise. Marcy

Yes. If not then the court can always correct the spelling for the arrest warrant.

Depends on the usage.

Examples:

The subpoena's language was really hard to understand.

The subpoenas were served on the 27th.

Subpoenaed means: You are ordered to attend court. You have been called in a court case as a witness or for another reason, but unless there are extreme circumstances in which you can not attend (like death or hospitalization) you must attend! A subpoena is usually given to you by the sheriff's office or a court official. They are given in person by these individuals usually at your front door.

You get off from work in order to attend court, but your employer does not have to pay you for the lost time.

No. A judgment is a legal instrument granted by the court to the plaintiff for debt owed by the defendant. The judgment creditor may then execute the judgment according to the laws of the debtor's state to recover monies owed. A subpoena is a written order from the court requiring the named person to appear at the date and time stated to give testimony and present the requested documents. NEVER fail to respond to a subpoena. To do so could result in being charged with contempt of a court order if the judge believes the act was made with the deliberate intent to obstruct justice. The maximum sentence for contempt of court is two years in a state or federal facility depending upon who holds jurisdiction in matter.

Only a lawyer admitted to practice in your jurisdiction would be able to answer that question for you. What you might be able to do is call the courthouse and ask to be connected to the chambers of the judge specified in your subpoena (or for the chambers of whatever judge sits in the courtroom specified if you just have a room number). Briefly explain the situation to the judge's clerk and ask what you are supposed to do.

If the case has been continued, then the court won't anticipate you to show up. However, you should discuss this with the person or attorney who filed the subpoena.
If the trial is scheduled for a later date, you will be likely required to show up on that later date.

A Domestic Violence offense in Nevada is serious, especially if it is an allegation of attempted murder. Whether your son has been formally charged or just subpoenaed, it would be in your best interest to speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney in Nevada. The consequences for this type of crime can be extremely severe. Following an arrest for any type of criminal charge, especially for domestic violence, battery, assault, or another violent act, it's imperative that you protect your son's rights. Do not take this situation lightly. If you have not already done so, speak with a criminal lawyer immediately. You should not ignore the subpoena. The only way to minimize the potential consequences would be to get proper legal advice as soon as possible.

You may have to discuss this question with the judge - there's no way of knowing his answer.

Do NOT -repeat- do NOT ignore the subpoena. That is a court paper ordering your appearance. Call the court that issued the subpoena and discuss it with them. They will decide if you're too 'sick' to attend. The reason you're wanted on the stand is so the court can decide whether or not, what you have to say is relevant. It is not for you to decide on your own.

If subpoenaed, I believe so. If you refuse to show you will be held in contempt by the court.

A "subpoena duces tecum." directs an individual to come to court and directs that certain items be brought with them. A 'regular' subpoena simply directs the individual to come to court.

You should be able to get out of it if it is a true family emergency, however you would have to get permission from the court to do so. In a more practical sense, you can probably adjust the day and time you are supposed to be in court in order to take care of the emergency if possible.

Keep in mind that the subpoena will be for a date the trial is expected to begin, but you may not be scheduled to testify until a day or more later, especially if you are a defendant's witness. Contact the attorney who issued the subpoena to try to work your actual appearance around your emergency. Most witnesses are subpoenaed and told to be on call rather than show up for the first day of trial. That means you don't have to be there on the date specified in the subpoena unless you are called in. When you are expected to be called to testify you will be told enough time in advance to stop whatever you are doing and get down to the courthouse.

Another technique that is used to work around a witness's emergency is to take his testimony out of turn if it is at all possible, subject to being recalled if need be.

There are ways these conflicts can be handled without simply hauling the witness to the courthouse regardless of his situation.

Contact the court that issued it.

The SUBPOENA DUCUS TEACUM must have some relevance to the case or the court would not have signed the order to produce the documents. The party being subpoeanad need not be a principle to the case, they may simply be the "custodial keepers" of the documents the court seeks to review. File a motion with the issuing judge reqeuesting that the subpoeena be quashed.

Yes, you can testify without being served with a subpoena if you are willing to appear in court voluntarily. The subpoena is used to compel the attendance of a reluctant witness. Sometimes even someone willing to testify without a subpoena is still given one. This is to give formal notice of the court date as well as to ensure the appearance of the witness in case the witness changes his or her mind or finds the trial date to be inconvenient. It also gets the person out of work if the employer doesn't want to let the employee take the day off.

If the individual has some material information to contribute to your judicial hearing, you request that the court subpoena them on your behalf.

Check with your secretary of state to find that person.
