 Subpoena duces tecum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In law a subpoena (literally "under punishment") is a court order requiring a person's appearance, also (in some jurisdictions) called a summons.
It is similar to subpoena ad testificandum (writ of summons to testify) but it includes clauses to bring in hand books, papers, etc. for the court.
In certain US jurisdictions which have de-emphasized the use of foreign words and phrases in court terminology, this type of subpoena is also called a "subpoena for production of evidence".

 In Re Subpoena Duces Tecum to America Online Inc.
AOL is the person/entity being required to produce documents under the subpoena and, therefore has standing to challenge the subpoena, according to the plain language of Rule 4:9(c).
However, it is unclear whether the first prong requires that a subpoena be reasonable (a) with respect to the burdens placed upon the entity challenging the subpoena or (b) with respect to all of the circumstances surrounding the subpoena.
Therefore, this Court holds that the legal standard to be applied when ruling on a motion to quash a subpoena under Rule 4:9(c) is whether the subpoena is (I) an unreasonable request in light of all the circumstances surrounding the subpoena (2) that produces an oppressive effect on the entity challenging the subpoena.
