    Yes, it is your obligation and no you are not getting reimbursed.

    Out of curiosity. If a witness was subpoenaed. Would they be responsible for travel expenses?

    Depends on who does the subpoena. If the DA (as in a criminal case), it is not unusual that travel and, hotel expenses would be paid. We did this when I did volunteer work in Victims Assistance and witnesses were no longer living locally.

    The rules are different for criminal cases and civil cases and also what sort of testimony you are given. Expert witnesses, for example, who are not employees of the government always tend be paid by the party who wants to the to testify. Government employees (in their official capacity) are usually paid by their employer. There's nobody whose going to reimburse a PARTY in the civil case for his appearance.
