No, but it depends on the complexity and sensitivity of the documents, the testimony which one is asked to provide (if any), and the nature of the proceedings.
However, the Office of Legal Affairs must be consulted if:
A) UC Berkeley, a campus department, and/or a campus employee in his/her official capacity are named as either a plaintiff or a defendant. Under these circumstances, OLA will make arrangements with either Office of the General Counsel or outside counsel for representation, if appropriate.
B) The subpoena seeks individual student, employee or customer/consumer records, medical or mental health information, or other information that appears highly sensitive or raises privacy concerns. However, campus offices that regularly receive subpoenas for certain types of records and that have received guidance from campus counsel in the past may respond without consulting OLA if they are confident they are aware of the applicable rules and the subpoena appears valid (e.g., Registrar’s Office, UHS/Tang Center, Campus Shared Services-Employee Verification/Academic Personnel Records).
C) The subpoena calls for deposition (in-person) testimony of staff or faculty.
You are encouraged to contact OLA if you have any questions or concerns about responding to a subpoena, whether in regards to manner of service, or records being requested.
