Subpoena domestication under the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act (UIDDA)
The Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act (UIDDA) outlines the US State Courts' procedures for issuing subpoenas for ad testificandum and duces tecum for legal proceedings in other states. In Minnesota, Rule 45.06 was established in 2015 to adopt the UIDDA. This rule authorizes the issuance of a subpoena in Minnesota based upon the proper issuance and service of a subpoena under the authority of a state court outside Minnesota.
Although the UIDDA simplifies the foreign subpoena process, officials in Minnesota carefully scrutinize every subpoena throughout its journey.
Subpoena domestication under the Minnesota Interstate Depositions and Discovery Rule 45.06
Minnesota Rule 45.06 (opens in a new tab) provides the legal framework for issuing and serving foreign subpoenas in Minnesota. This rule eliminates the Commission and Letters Rogatory requirement and the necessity to hire an attorney in Minnesota to issue a foreign subpoena. The rule ensures that attorneys licensed outside Minnesota and wishing to serve a subpoena to residents of Minnesota can conduct the legal discovery across state lines when adhering to the UIDDA and Minnesota's laws.
In Minnesota, Legal Process Minnesota helps legal professionals with domesticating and serving out-of-state subpoenas. Subpoenas for cases pending out of state can be issued by a Minnesota court administrator and an attorney licensed in Minnesota.
