Rule 32a-2. Hearing Procedure; Subpoenas

(a) All hearings are essentially civil proceedings except where otherwise provided by statute. Testimony may be given in narrative form and the proceedings shall at all times be as informal as the requirements of due process and fairness permit.

(b) Issuance, service, and compliance with subpoenas are governed by General Statutes § 52143 et seq.

(c) Any self-represented party may request the clerk of the court to issue subpoenas for persons to testify before the judicial authority. Self-represented parties shall obtain prior approval from the judicial authority to issue subpoenas and, if indigent, may seek reimbursement for the costs thereof.
