First legal summons for Clonaid
Well, it looks like the locale where they first broke the news has decided that it has jurisdiction over the matter and has ordered the parties involved to appear in its courts. (Clonaid seems to have been specifically setup as a corporation to avoid this type of legal troubles - I forget where they're based.) However, either the court is overstepping its jurisdictional authority, or Clonaid's lawyers aren't as smart as they think they are.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - An executive with the company that claims to have produced a human clone was subpoenaed Saturday to appear in court, and the company was ordered to disclose the whereabouts of the baby girl and her mother.
The witness subpoena and summons were approved by a court at the request of attorney Bernard Siegel, who has filed a lawsuit asking the state to appoint a guardian for the child, the attorney said.
The papers were delivered to Thomas Kaenzig, a Clonaid vice president, before he spoke at the Money World 2003 conference in Fort Lauderdale, Siegel said.
