subpoena
意味: A legal document ordering a person to attend court as a witness or to produce specified documents; also used as a verb meaning to issue such an order.
In English law, the equivalent of a subpoena is now called a 'witness summons' following the Civil Procedure Rules 1998, though 'subpoena' remains widely understood and used internationally. A 'subpoena ad testificandum' compels testimony, whilst a 'subpoena duces tecum' requires the production of documents. Failure to comply can result in contempt of court. The term is frequently encountered in legal dramas and news coverage.
