Breaking News: Understanding Federal Grand Jury Subpoenas
Types of Subpoenas
Federal grand jury subpoenas come in two forms: subpoena duces tecum and subpoena ad testificandum. The first type demands the production of documents or physical evidence, while the second compels an individual to appear and testify before the grand jury.
Distinction from Other Subpoenas
Grand jury subpoenas differ from other subpoenas in that they are issued by a grand jury, a group of citizens tasked with investigating criminal activities. This gives them broader investigative powers, including the ability to demand a wide range of documents, evidence, and witness testimony.
