While working at a clinic, you receive a document demanding the presence of a patient's medical records at a court proceeding. The document specifies that it requires the medical records themselves rather than the personal testimony about the records. What type of legal document have you received?
A 'subpoena duces tecum' is a type of subpoena that requires you to produce documents, records, or tangible evidence at a trial or a deposition. Unlike a standard subpoena, which requires an individual's presence to testify, a 'subpoena duces tecum' focuses on the provision of documentation or evidence.
