FAQ

There are 3 different ways: By hand delivery (called "personal service") By mail. By publication of a legal ad in a newspaper.

Discovery is how you gather the evidence you will need to prove your case as plaintiff, or defeat the plaintiff's case as a defendant. You use discovery to find out things like: What the other side plans to say about an issue in your case. What facts or witnesses support their side.

What is the Discovery Rule? The discovery rule allows plaintiffs to extend the statute of limitations on the basis that they had not reasonably discovered that they had a claim in time to meet the deadline.

Unless agreed by the parties and with the permission of the court, all discovery shall be completed within 60 days of the demand, or 90 days of service of the summons and complaint, or counterclaim, or cross complaint, whichever is longer. This revision is advisable for several reasons.

Cut Off of Expert Discovery – the civil law time limit for expert discovery cutoff is fifteen (15) days before the original set trial date.

Discovery ends 30 days before trial (the cutoff date). That means, at the very latest anything you ask for must be due 30 days before your trial. At the latest, you need to serve your requests 60 days before your trial date (65 if you serve by mail).

Service of summons and process, except when service is by publication, shall be by the sheriff of the county wherein the service is made, or by the sheriff's deputy, or by any person over 18 years of age who is competent to be a witness in the action, other than a party.
