Prepare a witness's account for a coroner or medical examiner inquest
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- Index the documents the witness will be shown. Write no question script that puts words in the witness's mouth, and write no account of what the witness saw.
- What the lawyer must review
- Minnesota Statutes section 390.11, subdivision 5, allows the county attorney to subpoena witnesses to an inquest and to enforce attendance. The inquest record and report may not be used in evidence in a civil action arising out of the death. The witness's account is the witness's. You do not draft it. CDC confirms the office and the procedure are matters of state law, so open the subpoena statute of the state that has the body before you describe the hearing. Opinion 512 and Model Rule 1.6.
