SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM: under penalty you shall bring it with you. Type of subpoena issued by a court at the request of one of the parties to a suit. A witness having under his or her control documents relevant to the controversy is enjoined to bring such items to court during the trial or at the deposition.
EXAMPLE: Several years ago. Wynn was a marketing consultant to a large firm. The firm is being sued by a company that claims the firm gave it false information. Wynn is not personally being sued, but is issued a subpoena duces tecum to testify at the trial and bring with him any papers relevant to the firm's relationship with the company.
