A Mississippi Subpoena Ducks Cecum is a legal document issued by a court or other authorized body requiring a person or organization to produce documents or other tangible items for court proceedings. It is a form of discovery in which a party to a lawsuit can obtain evidence from a non-party. There are two types of Mississippi Subpoena Ducks Cecum: a subpoena ad testificandum, which requires a person to appear in court and testify, and a subpoena duces tecum, which requires a person to produce documents or other tangible items. In Mississippi, a Subpoena Ducks Cecum must be served at least 15 days before the hearing, and the items requested must be specified. The recipient must bring the requested items to the hearing or make them available to the court prior to the hearing. Failure to comply with the Subpoena Ducks Cecum may result in a contempt of court charge.
