Nebraska Summons, Civil, is a type of court order issued by a court in the state of Nebraska. It is used to notify a defendant of a pending civil action and to bring them before the court. It is a required step in the process of initiating a civil lawsuit, and it serves as a formal notification to the defendant that a lawsuit has been filed against them. There are two types of Nebraska Summons, Civil: Summons in a Civil Action and Summons on a Petition. The Summons in a Civil Action is used to initiate a civil lawsuit, while the Summons on a Petition is used when a defendant is already involved in a civil action and needs to be served additional notices or documents. Both types of summons must be served to the defendant in accordance with Nebraska law.
