Civil Forms

Notice - January 23, 2007 The national civil subpoena form (AO-88, located below) has been updated to reflect the “electronic discovery” amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that took effect on December 1, 2006. The text of subdivisions (c) and (d) of Fed. R. Civ. P. 45 (Subpoena) is set forth at the bottom of the form to inform a subpoena’s recipient of key provisions of the rule. The updated form substitutes the newly revised language of subdivisions (c) and (d), and it also adds the text of subdivision (e) (Sanctions) to alert the recipient to the potential consequences of noncompliance without adequate excuse. The revised form is also available in the Clerk’s Office and the judiciary’s public website, http://www.uscourts.gov/forms/AO88.pdf

The following forms are available in pdf format. To get more information on Adobe Acrobat or to download the reader, please visit the Adobe Acrobat Reader web site.
