A: When serving a deposition notice to a non-party witness under subpoena during discovery in California, it’s important to follow the rules set by the court and the Code of Civil Procedure. There is no strict requirement that the notice must be on legal-sized paper. However, the notice should clearly include the case title and the other required information, such as the time, date, and location of the deposition.

The format and content requirements for a deposition notice can generally be found in the California Code of Civil Procedure, specifically sections 2025.220 and 2020.510 for non-party witnesses. These sections outline what must be included in the notice and how it should be served.

It’s always a good idea to consult the local court rules or seek clarification from the court clerk if you’re unsure about the formatting requirements. This will help ensure that your notice complies with the proper procedures.
