Pursuant to Rules 2-510, 3-510, 4-265, and 4-266, the Maryland Judiciary implemented a uniform, statewide subpoena form, effective July 1, 2015. To ensure the required seal and the appropriate clerk's signature appears on each subpoena, separate versions of the form are provided for the District Court and each Circuit Court. The content of all versions is the same. Questions regarding court proceedings should be directed to the appropriate court.

Any misuse of a subpoena may result in an appropriate sanction from the court, including an award of a reasonable attorney's fee and costs, the exclusion of evidence obtained as a result of the misuse, and reimbursement of any person inconvenienced for time and expenses incurred.
