What is the purpose of Subpoenas in the legal process?

Represent legal interests of children
File documents and reports for the court record
Compel testimony or document production from witnesses
Work on alternative permanency plans

The correct answer is: Compel testimony or document production from witnesses

Subpoenas in the legal process serve the purpose of compelling testimony or document production from witnesses. This means that individuals who receive a subpoena are legally required to either testify in court or provide specific documents or evidence as requested. Subpoenas play a crucial role in ensuring that all relevant information is brought forth during legal proceedings. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the purpose of subpoenas. Option A, representing the legal interests of children, could involve legal representation or advocacy for children but is not directly related to the function of subpoenas. Option B, filing documents and reports for the court record, is an administrative task different from the compelling nature of subpoenas. Option D, working on alternative permanency plans, focuses on developing other long-term solutions for children outside the context of legal mandates like subpoenas.
