Serving a Subpoena on Hunter College

Hunter College does not accept service of subpoenas.

A subpoena must be addressed to and served upon the CUNY Office of General Counsel, at CUNY’s Central Office, by hand. The Office of General Counsel will then convey the subpoena to Hunter Interim General Counsel Jessica Alvarez – the subpoena should be addressed to her attention.

Also note that our office will only respond to subpoenas that are so ordered.

Contact information for the CUNY Office of General Counsel is:
