When an executed summons or waiver of service is docketed, CM/ECF will automatically enter the date an answer is due, based upon the date service was made and using the default settings of 21 or 60 days.

Some instances, an entire case, a. document, or information in a document is considered restricted information by law and cannot be viewed by the public. You must use the restricted information form to tell the court that there is a court document or information in a court document that is restricted by law.

Guide & File is a new tool developed by the Maryland Courts to help you complete court forms online. The application guides you through a series of questions called an "interview." This free program copies your interview answers directly into your court form exactly as you enter it.

Use this form to certify to the court that documents were mailed or hand delivered to a party in a case.

Service of process is the way the other person, called the defendant, receives court papers and notice about a court case. The defendant must be served before the court will hear your case. You may not serve the defendant yourself. Someone else, 18 or older, who is not involved in the case, must serve the defendant.

If you are not served legally, you can request that the court dismiss the case for improper service. File your request as soon as possible before the trial date on the DC-002, Motion. If the judge grants your request and postpones the trial, the plaintiff will have to serve you with a new summons.
