Subpoena Man (Process Server — S1E11 "Lord John Marbury")

A discrete process server who routinely enforces civil procedure at the edges of the West Wing. He moves into the hallway with quiet professionalism, identifies Joshua Lyman, delivers a subpoena, requests a signature as proof of service, offers a brief apology for the intrusion, and departs. He functions as an impersonal instrument of the judicial system that intrudes upon private banter and converts domestic levity into urgent institutional reality, importing external legal pressure that propels characters toward deposition and political risk.
