The three types of subpoenas are: 1) Subpoena ad testificandum, which compels a witness to testify in a legal proceeding; 2) Subpoena duces tecum, which requires a person to produce documents or evidence; and 3) Subpoena for deposition, which mandates a person to appear for a deposition. Each type serves a specific purpose in the discovery process.
