Overview

CaseMark's Subpoena Duces Tecum skill automates the drafting of enforceable subpoenas compelling document production from parties and non-parties without requiring personal appearance. The AI handles recipient designation, records scoping with precise date ranges and categories, production format specifications, privilege notices, and service certification—all formatted to comply with Federal Rule 45 or applicable state equivalents.
