Hi all,

I have an upcoming ICL subpoena hearing. I don't know what this entails. I'm guessing the ICL reports on the subpoena's she has requested but not sure if I am questioned over the evidence.

Thanks in advance

I don't know if you're still pursuing this, but, I know from experience that these hearings are just to justify why you want to view the material if that is the kind of hearing it is. Often the Magistrate doesn't even ask why and signs off on it without asking a single question.
If they do ask questions about why you want to view the material you can cite:
For preparation - To make sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently at the hearing. This way you can structure your arguments.
