An answer is the defendant's written response to a plaintiff's complaint that is filed with the court and served on the plaintiff. A summons is a document that notifies a defendant that a lawsuit has been filed against them and that they are required to appear in court. A rejoinder is a defendant's response to a plaintiff's reply, which is not the initial response. A rebuttal is a response to the opposing party's evidence, which occurs during the course of a trial.
