Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Service of process is the act of giving the defendant notice of a legal action against them, usually through methods such as personal delivery, certified mail, or publication in a newspaper. This is an essential step in ensuring that the defendant has a fair opportunity to respond to the lawsuit. A demand letter (A) and reply (B) are not part of the formal legal process, and a record of the preliminary hearing (D) is a separate document that reflects the court's decision on whether there is enough evidence to proceed to trial.
