Understanding the Methods of Service of Process

Welcome back to the Law School 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 exam questions. 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
