A subpoena /sÉËpiËnÉ/ (also subpÅna) is a writ issued by a government agency, most often a court, to compel testimony by a witness or production of evidence under a penalty for failure.
Although the subpoena is in a sense the command of the attorney who completes the form, defiance of a subpoena is nevertheless an act in defiance of a court order and exposes the defiant witness to contempt sanctions.
