Domesticating a Foreign Subpoena in Wisconsin

To have a Wisconsin circuit court clerk issue a subpoena, a party must first submit the international subpoena to the clerk of the county in which discovery is to be performed in Wisconsin. This must be done with a Wisconsin subpoena form, indicating the Wisconsin court where the subpoena was issued in the county where the discovery was to be done. The county where the subpoenaed party lives is where discovery takes place. A company’s discovery must occur in a country with a significant commercial presence. The witness’s full address, including the county where they live, must be included on the subpoena.

Undisputed Legal’s Mastery of How To Domesticate A Foreign Subpoena in Wisconsin

At Undisputed Legal, we have mastered the intricacies of the Uniform Interstate Deposition and Discovery Act in Wisconsin for domesticating foreign subpoenas. Our team of experienced professionals ensures that when a properly issued out-of-state subpoena is received, we follow the streamlined process set forth by UIDDA Wisconsin to obtain the necessary discovery efficiently and cost-effectively. We handle the domestication and service of process under UIDDA Wisconsin, allowing our clients to focus on building their cases.

UIDDA Wisconsin Overview

Wisconsin adopted provisions of the UIDDA on January 1, 2016, making conducting discovery in a case venue in another state more straightforward. Despite the UIDDA’s consistency, practitioners still need to review the requirements of the state where their case is located and the state where they desire to seek discovery since certain jurisdictions (such as Wisconsin) have opted to adopt the provisions in the model act before adopting it.

When a party presents a foreign subpoena to the circuit court clerk in Wisconsin, the clerk must promptly sign and issue the UIDDA Wisconsin subpoena for service upon the person to whom the foreign subpoena is addressed. An alternative is for a party to hire a lawyer admitted to practice law in Wisconsin to serve as an officer of the court and sign and issue the UIDDA Wisconsin subpoena. Requesting a subpoena per the UIDDA Wisconsin requirements does not constitute a court presence in this state.

Undisputed Legal’s extensive knowledge of UIDDA Wisconsin ensures that our clients’ rights are protected and that any necessary motions are filed in a timely manner.

Litigation Proceedings in a Foreign Court

When attaching a copy of the foreign subpoena, it is necessary to provide the foreign jurisdiction’s docket number and the case’s title. The document must be modified to incorporate the language used per the UIDDA Wisconsin requirements. The foreign subpoena must include or be accompanied by the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all counsel of record in the action to which the subpoena pertains, as well as those of any party not represented by counsel.

An out-of-state litigant has two options for conducting discovery in Wisconsin:

Provide the county’s clerk where discovery will be performed per UIDDA Wisconsin with a valid international subpoena and a copy of the applicable subpoena form. The clerk must promptly sign and issue the UIDDA Wisconsin subpoena for service to the person the foreign subpoena addresses.
Hire a lawyer admitted to or permitted to practice law in Wisconsin to serve as the court’s officer and sign and issue the UIDDA Wisconsin subpoena.

Undisputed Legal’s team of experts is well-versed in the Wisconsin Rules of Civil Procedure for conducting discovery in Wisconsin, ensuring that our clients’ discovery needs are met while fully complying with all applicable laws.

What is a Subpoenaed Individual Required to Do in Wisconsin?

Under the UIDDA Wisconsin regulations, the attorney who requests discovery is responsible for keeping a copy of the original subpoena and the evidence of service. For either choice of UIDDA Wisconsin service, the circuit court clerk will not generate a file until a particular procedure is started to enforce, quash, or alter the subpoena.

Subpoenaed individuals must appear for any UIDDA Wisconsin discovery concerning them, such as a deposition, in their home county. If the subpoena is sent to a legal entity rather than an individual, the UIDDA Wisconsin discovery process must occur in the county where the corporation has a ‘substantial commercial presence.’

How is a Foreign Subpoena Enacted in Wisconsin?

When an action is instituted in the originating state and the deposition witness is a Wisconsin resident, an attorney of record must issue the subpoena in the originating state for a party to an action to be served. The attorney then requests a subpoena from the Wisconsin county clerk where the deponent resides, drafts a subpoena for Wisconsin identical to the one issued in the originating state, and delivers the completed and signed UIDDA Wisconsin subpoena from the originating state and the completed but unsigned subpoena from Wisconsin to the Wisconsin clerk’s office.

The attorney may draft a brief transmittal letter to inform the originating court clerk that the UIDDA Wisconsin subpoena is being sought by Wis. Stat. 887.24 and will be sent together with the original subpoena. After receiving the original subpoena, the Wisconsin court clerk will issue a similar document, and the party’s process server (or other agency) will legally serve the deponent with the UIDDA Wisconsin subpoena.

Undisputed Legal’s extensive knowledge of UIDDA Wisconsin and the process for enacting foreign subpoenas ensures that our clients can efficiently and effectively gather the evidence they need, regardless of the witness’s location.
