A: Yes. But your question is not very clear. Is this your situation? Do you want one or were you served with one? Go to the Superior Court website for the court you are in and look for the "forms" tab. Judicial Council forms, Subpoena duces Tecum and accompanying declaration. This is a Civil Litigation question. You need to consult an attorney in your local area that practices this kind of law. Thank you for using Justia Ask a Lawyer.
