An Alaska Subpoena in a Civil Case is a written order issued by either a court or an attorney in a civil case. It requires a person or entity to appear in court to give testimony or to produce documents or other objects. There are two types of Alaska Subpoenas in a Civil Case — a Subpoena Duces Tecum and a Subpoena Ad Testificandum. A Subpoena Ducks Cecum requires the recipient to produce specified documents or objects, while a Subpoena Ad Testificandum requires the recipient to appear in court to give oral testimony. Both types of Subpoena are issued by the court or the attorney in a civil case, and must be served on the person or entity to whom it is directed. Failure to comply with a Subpoena can result in fines or other penalties.
