Re: Appearing in court

generally speaking, if you're subpoenaed (properly), then you must appear, regardless of whether you know what the case is about. You have no "right" to know about the case. In an appropriate case, you can have the subpoena "quashed" or negated, but you would probably need a lawyer to do that.
