Serving Legal Papers Highly Diverse as Media Shows

There is a common public perception that the law is something connected to dusty books, barristers in wigs, and wordy rules and regulations. Many people have no perceptive of the different types of law, and couldn’t tell you the difference between case and civil law.

A lot of people are ill-informed about the role of process servers. At best, they have a rough idea that we deliver papers for court cases; at worst, they have to Google the term to have any idea of what it is.

This is not so surprising. Although a fundamental cog in the legal system, a lot of people won’t have had the need to enlist one, so when you do, it can be eye-opening to realise just how many types of legal documents can be served – including, perhaps, the one that concerns you.
