Issuance of Subpoenas
A subpoena may be issued by the clerk of the court and the fee is $5.00 pursuant to N.J.S.A 22A:2-7 or by an attorney or party in the name of the clerk. It shall state the name of the court and the title of the action and shall command each person to whom it is directed to attend and give testimony at the time and place specified therein. The testimony of a party who could be subpoenaed may be compelled by a notice in lieu of subpoena served upon the party’s attorney demanding that the attorney produce the client at trial. If the party is a corporation or other organization, the testimony of any person deposable on its behalf, under R. 4:14-2, may be compelled by like notice. The notice shall be served in accordance with R. 1:5-2 at least 5 days before trial. The sanctions of R. 1:2- 4 shall apply to a failure to respond to a notice in lieu of a subpoena. See R. 1:9- 1.
