Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, as part of our “Listen and Learn” series, we’re talking about service of process – a subject that sometimes sneaks into Civil Procedure questions on the bar exam. We’ll discuss the general service of process rules under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as the California-specific rules.
In this episode we discuss:
- Serving a summons and complaint to individuals in the United States and in foreign countries under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
- Serving a corporation or other non-individual
- Substitute service of process under the California rules
- Two hypos illustrating service of process issues
