Responding to Subpoenas and Other Legal
Requests
DePaul
routinely receives various types of formal legal requests. These include:
Subpoenas: Documents
requiring DePaul (or a DePaul employee) to provide testimony or documents
related to a pending lawsuit
Summons/Complaints:
Documents initiating a lawsuit and requiring DePaul to appear in court or
otherwise respond by a certain date
Routine Government Investigations: Site visits related to visa applications
sponsored by the University
Wage Garnishments:
Documents requiring DePaul to withhold some portion of an employee’s
wages
Pursuant to the
Response to Legal Inquiries policy, the OGC is responsible for responding to all legal
requests made to DePaul. If someone, such as a Sheriff, process
server, or investigator with a government-issued badge/ID asks you for
information or to accept any legal documents on behalf of DePaul, please
decline and redirect him/her to the Office of the General Counsel, 14 E. Jackson
Blvd., 18th Floor. Responses to legal requests are generally handled
by Associate General Counsel Mary Devona Stark, x27503, mdevona@depaul.edu.
