Subpoenas are usually issued by the clerk of the court in the name of the judge presiding over the case. Additionally, court rules may permit lawyers to issue subpoenas themselves in their capacity as officers of the court.
What do you call the person who serves subpoenas?
Typically, though, these documents are served by either a sheriff, lawyer, court clerk, notary public, paralegal, administrative assistant, or professional subpoena service (also called a process server). Process servers, like LORR, are generally preferred if you're dealing with a hard-to-find or difficult witness.
Who initiates a subpoena?
A subpoena is typically requested by an attorney on behalf of the court and issued by a court clerk, notary public or justice of the peace. A subpoena may be served on an individual either through personal delivery, email, certified mail or even by reading it out aloud.
