Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A subpoena is a court order requiring a person to appear in court as a witness or to provide evidence in a case. Therefore, if the court ordered Ms. Hershey and other witnesses to appear in court, they would be notified by a subpoena specifying the date and time of the hearing. The other answer choices do not apply to this situation – a writ of certiorari is a higher court order to review a lower court’s decision, a banding document is not a legal term, and a warrant is a court order authorizing law enforcement to arrest or search a person or property.
