About Service of Process:
The California state law says that when you sue a person or corporation, you must give formal notice to the other party that you have initiated the legal process. If you are involved in a case and file papers with the court, you are then required to give the defendant, respondent or witness the paperwork that you have filed. The proper and legal way to give notice is to hire a Process Server and have the other party served with a copy of your court filed paperwork.
Service of court papers means that the other party must receive copies of all paper you file with the court. In serving papers, a person over the age of 18 and who is not party to the action will be the one who actually delivers the legal paperwork. Any person who meets this crieria is called "the server" or process server. The judge in your case cannot make any permanent orders or judgments until the other side has been properly served.

More on Process Servers:
More specifically in any and all Los Angeles legal proceedings, process servers are adults at least 18 years old and not a party to the action. They can be a county sheriff, marshal, attorney; or professional LA county registered process server as long as they are not part of your case. The Los Angeles Process Server must also serve the documents within the time required. They then fill-out a proof of service form that tells the court who they served and on what date at the provided address location. Your proof of service is then returned to you or filed for you at your court clerk's office. If for example your case was originally filed at the Stanley Mosk courthouse in downtown Los Angeles CA then someone must take your proof of service there and file it with the clerk of the court. So to summarize: Filing a lawsuit with the court is the first step any plaintiff or petitioner in a civil, small claims, family law, criminal or probate case must take to ask a court judge to decide a dispute.
