Service of Process

Here is a simple civil procedure tip for all you law students out there who are confused about the proper forms for service of process.

Right:

Summons

(Or you could just send it to them through the mail under Rule 4(d), which is much easier and cheaper for all concerned. But don’t do this–)

Wrong:

Service of Process

I found this on the sidewalk south of Market while I was walking back from a trip to Costco. Here’s the same picture, from a wider angle, which suggests that the legal colloquialism for a form of service that is unlikely to reach the defendant on time or at all–”sewer service”–might be uniquely appropriate here.

I am not certain whether Darrel A. appeared, or indeed to which court he was being summoned, why, or by whom.
