👉 A subpoena is a legal document that requires the production of evidence or documents by a person named as a witness or defendant in a court case. It can be issued by a judge, magistrate, or other official in a court to compel witnesses and other parties to produce certain items or information. Subpoenas are used in criminal cases, civil cases, and administrative proceedings to obtain the testimony of individuals who may have been involved in an event or matter under investigation.
