A subpoena duces tecum is a court order that requires the subpoenaed individual to produce evidence such as documents or records at a specified time and place in a court hearing.
This is usually part of the pre-trial discovery process.
The Latin term "duces tecum" translates to "bring with you".
A deposition subpoena is a court order requiring a person who is a third-party—not a party to a lawsuit—to provide copies of records and/or appear at a deposition to answer questions asked by one of the parties involved in the lawsuit.
