Why Are Process Servers Important?

When you think of a process server, you probably visualize someone sneaking around in a disguise trying to catch an unsuspecting target unawares, then proclaiming “You’ve been served!” as they hurl a pile of documents their way. While movies may portray process servers like this, it couldn’t be further from the truth.

What do process servers do?

Process servers are an integral part of the U.S. legal system. Without process servers, the flow of court cases would come to a standstill as people constantly failed to appear, most likely due to not knowing they needed to be there.

Process servers notify individuals and businesses of court cases filed against them and upcoming dates to appear in court. Without these notifications, individuals and businesses would likely not even know they needed to be in court. Process servers also make sure to give the notification with enough time for the defendant(s) to fully prepare for the case, as required by law.

Why does proper notification matter?

Well, for one, anyone who is being sued wants to know why. The documents a process server delivers when serving someone detail exactly what the case is about and why the defendant has been summoned. If process servers did not deliver these documents to case defendants, they would likely have to go to the courthouse in person to retrieve them, taking up a lot of time and effort.

Proper notification is also important because it’s a constitutional right. Due process is guaranteed to all U.S. citizens in our Constitution, and the due process involves giving parties in a legal case enough time to adequately prepare a defense. Process servers make this happen.
