Illinois lawyers can now issue subpoenas on their own. Sweet!
On a semi-related note, has anyone noticed the wide variety with which people pronounce the words “subponea duces tecum?”
- Subpoena (sometimes sup-peeny for the southern lawyers)
- Duces (dooses, deuces, duchess, dookes, etc)
- Tecum (tay-kum, teachem, teesum, teekum)
It’d be nice if at least all lawyers agreed to pronounce this the same way, so if we bastardize the Latin, we do it uniformly.
(Howard Zimmerle is an attorney in the Quad City area, and is looking forward to having subpoena power).

Can you subpoena a trial judge for a deposition in a case when you are seeking a substitution of judges?
In Illinois, under 735 ILCS 5/2-1001, you have the absolute right to substitute one judge. If you’re working on a second judge, without researching the issue I don’t think you can depose him/her. 2-1001(3)(iii) states that “the judge named in the petition need not testify…” Likewise, I’m not sure it’s a good idea even if you could do it.
Hello there! This blog post couldn’t be written any better! Going through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He continually kept talking about this. I’ll send this article to him.

As part of the regular aging method, our memories begin to dwindle.
It has been mentioned that the memories lost are replaced with new
memories, but that is not comforting. Use the
methods you simply study about so many issues.
