As a medical assistant, you receive a formal notice requesting your presence to answer questions under oath regarding a patient's care that resulted in a lawsuit. Upon receipt of this notice, you will need to coordinate with the healthcare facility's legal team to prepare for this pretrial phase. What specific legal term is used for the document that mandates your appearance for this questioning?
The correct term for the document that mandates a witness's appearance to provide sworn testimony during the pretrial phase of a lawsuit is a 'subpoena'. A 'subpoena duces tecum' also requires the person to bring specific documents to the deposition. An 'affidavit' is a written statement confirmed by oath or affirmation, used as evidence in court, while a 'summons' is a document informing a defendant that they are being sued and specifying the court in which the lawsuit is filed.
