What are the steps involved in issuing a Subpoena?

1. Request to be in writing, burden of obtaining and serving lies on the person requesting

2. Send an email request to the Director

3. Submit a formal request during a Commission meeting

4. Request verbally

The correct answer is: Request to be in writing, burden of obtaining and serving lies on the person requesting

Issuing a subpoena is a legal process that requires specific steps to be followed. Requesting the subpoena in writing is the first and most important step. This ensures that all parties involved are aware of the request and the details of the subpoena are clearly stated. Choosing to send an email request to the Director or requesting verbally may not provide the necessary documentation or may not be considered a formal request. Submitting a formal request during a Commission meeting may also not be appropriate as there may not be enough time for the request to be reviewed and approved. The burden of obtaining and serving the subpoena lies with the person making the request as it is their responsibility to gather and present the necessary information to the court.
