Tips regarding subpoena practice (list four):
Persons or materials should be subpoenaed only to the court and not to an attorney's office, unless it is for a court-ordered deposition.
Court subpoenaed materials mistakenly delivered to an attorney's office should not be opened or disposed of as an attorney sees fit, but delivered to the court.
A child witness is normally subpoenaed through the custodial parent or guardian, but check local rules.
Whether served by a law enforcement officer or an individual (depending on jurisdictional practice), it is not necessary to physically place the subpoena in the person's hand.
A copy of the delivered subpoena does not have to be filed with the court to be binding.
A federal subpoena may be served on a witness anywhere in the United States, and a state subpoena anywhere in that state.
Even if it is later decided that the subpoenaed witness is not going to testify, only the court can discharge the witness.
