Subpena (subpoena)

Read a random definition: chilling a sale

A quick definition of Subpena (subpoena):

A subpoena is a special order from a court that tells someone they have to come to court and either talk about something or bring something with them. If someone gets a subpoena and doesn't do what it says, they can get in trouble with the court. The rules for subpoenas are different depending on whether it's a criminal or civil case, and sometimes the subpoena has to be given to the person in person by a police officer.

A more thorough explanation:

A subpoena is a legal order that requires a person to appear in court and provide testimony or evidence. If a person fails to comply with a subpoena, they may be charged with contempt of court and face legal consequences.

For example, if a witness is subpoenaed to testify in a criminal trial but fails to show up, they may be held in contempt of court and face fines or even jail time.

A subpoena must be served on the person ordered to appear. In some states, a law enforcement officer personally serves the subpoena, while other states allow it to be served by mail or phone.

The rules governing subpoenas in federal cases are found in Rule 17 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Overall, a subpoena is a powerful tool used by the court to compel individuals to provide important information or testimony in legal proceedings.
