Service of process is the procedure by which a party to a lawsuit gives an appropriate notice of initial legal action to another party (such as a defendant), court, or administrative body in an effort to exercise jurisdiction over that person so as to enable that person to respond to the proceeding before the court, body, or other tribunal.

A lawsuit (or suit in law) is "a vernacular term for a suit, action, or cause instituted or depending between two private persons in the courts of law." The term refers to any proceeding by a party or parties against another in a court of law.

A document is a written, drawn, presented, or memorialized representation of thought.

The word originates from the Latin documentum, which denotes a "teaching" or "lesson": the verb doceō denotes "to teach".

In the past the word was usually used to denote a written proof useful as evidence of a truth or fact.

In the computer age, "document" usually denotes a primarily textual computer file, including its structure and format, e.

g.

fonts, colors, and images.

Contemporarily, "document" is not defined by its transmission medium, e.

g., paper, given the existence of electronic documents.

"Documentation" is distinct because it has more denotations than "document".

Documents are also distinguished from "realia", which are 3 dimensional objects that would otherwise satisfy the definition of "document" because they memorialize or represent thought; documents are considered more as 2 dimensional representations.

A court is a tribunal, often as a government institution, with the authority to adjudicate legal disputes between parties and carry out the administration of justice in civil, criminal, and administrative matters in accordance with the rule of law.

In both common law and civil law legal systems, courts are the central means for dispute resolution, and it is generally understood that all persons have an ability to bring their claims before a court.

Similarly, the rights of those accused of a crime include the right to present a defense before a court.

A computer file is a computer resource for recording data discretely in a computer storage device.

Just as words can be written to paper, so can information be written to a computer file.
