Are there special considerations when Student, Employee or Consumer records are subpoenaed?

          Yes.  There are special rules that apply when these kinds of records are subpoenaed which requires the party issuing the subpoena to notify the individual (or his/her/its attorney) whose records are sought before the records can be disclosed.  The University is also required to give reasonable notice to an individual whose records are requested before complying with the subpoena's request(s).  Certain campus departments are familiar with these special rules, e.g., the Registrar's Office, University Health Services/Tang Center, and have procedures in place to handle these types of subpoena requests, but if you have questions about these rules, contact OLA (510-642-7122).
