Small claims subpoenas
(a) All subpoenas submitted to the court must comply with JCRCP 45.
(1) Every subpoena must be presented on a form provided by the court. This form is available at the Civil Law Self-Help Center.
(2) Every subpoena must command each person to whom it is directed to attend and give testimony, or to produce documents or tangible things in the possession, custody, or control of that person, at the time of trial.
(b) The clerk will issue a subpoena, signed but otherwise in blank, to a party requesting it, who must complete it before service.
(c) A subpoena may be served by any person who is not a party and is not less than 18 years of age. Service of a subpoena upon a person named therein must be made by delivering a copy thereof to such person and, if the person’s attendance is commanded, by tendering to that person the fees for one day’s attendance and the mileage allowed by law as required by NRS 50.225. When the subpoena is issued on behalf of the State or an officer or agency thereof, fees and mileage need not be tendered.
(d) Any person who fails to obey a subpoena properly served upon that person, without adequate excuse, may be held in contempt.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
