6-07/810.10 Instructions



Service of a summons or citation issued from an out-of-state court must comply with the laws of that state.  Both the method of service and any special requirements necessary for the return of service should be covered in the attorney’s instructions and executed in conformance with such instructions.  Service on a Sunday is void under the laws of most other states.  Do not serve any process from another state on a Sunday unless the forwarding attorney has stated that such service would be valid.

Always make personal delivery of an out-of-state summons unless specifically instructed otherwise.
