Arizona Subpoena Duties are the various legal responsibilities associated with issuing and responding to subpoenas in the state of Arizona. There are three main types of Arizona Subpoena Duties, including issuing subpoenas, responding to subpoenas, and enforcing subpoenas. Issuing subpoenas involves first determining the need for a subpoena, as well as the type of subpoena needed, then preparing and serving the subpoena in accordance with Arizona law. Responding to a subpoena requires the recipient to comply with the order by providing the requested documents or testimony. The recipient must also file a timely response if they wish to challenge the subpoena and may choose to file an objection or motion to quash. Enforcing subpoenas is the responsibility of the court and can involve a range of actions, including ordering a recalcitrant witness to appear before the court, requiring production of documents, or sanctioning a witness or party for failing to comply with a subpoena.
