 Social workers are becoming involved in their clients' lawsuits with ever greater frequency. Domestic relations matters, drunken driving accidents, sexual harassment, and other work-related problems can lead to litigation for people who are in family counseling, therapy, or employee assistance programs. Social workers are required by law to report known acts and suspicions of child or elder abuse and may have to testify about the reports they file. Troubled clients may be involved in legal proceedings such as child custody disputes; workers' compensation hearings; civil damage suits; or criminal matters, including domestic violence and violation of probation orders. Social Workers and Subpoenas provides practitioners with a thorough grounding in these and other legal matters that may involve them in litigation and result in subpoenas for their records.
