This page covers the New Jersey Judiciary form titled “Subpoena Ad Testificandum (Request Someone’s Testimony in Court),” identified on the document as CN 11281 and revised 11/2024. The heading of the form reads “Tax Court of New Jersey,” and it carries a docket number line and the designation “Civil Action.” Its caption has spaces for the plaintiff and the defendant, and a block labeled “Plaintiff or Filing Attorney Information” collecting a name, NJ Attorney ID Number, address, email address, and telephone number with an extension field.
The operative text is addressed “TO:” a named and addressed party, and reads: “YOU ARE HEREBY COMMANDED to appear in person before the Tax Court of New Jersey, located at” a stated hearing address, on a stated date and time, with a.m. and p.m. checkboxes, “to testify as a witness in the above-captioned matter.” The form adds that “Failure to appear or comply with the command of this Subpoena will subject you to the penalties provided by law.” Below that is a date line and a signature line printed with the name “Jeffrey T. Gallus, Tax Court Clerk/Administrator.”
The second half of the document is a “Proof of Service” section. It is written in the first person for a server who certifies being “over the age of 18” and states that they “served the attached subpoena by delivering a copy to” a named person at a stated place, “and by handing them the fee of $2.00 for one day’s attendance and, if applicable, a mileage fee of $ ___ , as allowed by law.” The section closes with the certification “I certify that the foregoing statements made by me are true. I am aware that if any of the foregoing statements made by me are willfully false, I am subject to punishment,” followed by date and signature lines.
A footnote on the form refers to Court Rule 1:9-1, noting that “a subpoena may be issued by the clerk of the court or by an attorney or party in the name of the clerk,” and that the testimony of a party who could be subpoenaed “may be compelled by a notice in lieu of subpoena served on the party’s attorney demanding that the attorney present the client at trial.”
Before you start
This website does not file anything with a court. When you finish, you
download a PDF. You still have to file it yourself — by mail, in person,
or through the court’s own eCourts system.
This is not legal advice. This site is not the New Jersey Judiciary and
is not a law firm. It helps you fill in an official form; it cannot tell you
which form you need or whether filing it is a good idea.
Your answers are deleted after 30 minutes of inactivity. Nothing here is
tied to an account, because there are no accounts. Anything you download is
on your own device after that — including in your Downloads folder and your
