When may process be legally served?

• A. Sunday through Saturday and on holidays.
• B. Monday through Saturday and on holidays.
• C. Weekdays only.
• D. Only on court days.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that service of process isn’t usually limited to court days and can be done on most days of the week, with Sundays often excluded. In many jurisdictions, you may serve on Monday through Saturday and on holidays, but not on Sundays. This keeps service timely while respecting a common practice of not serving on Sundays. That’s why the best choice is to allow service from Monday through Saturday and on holidays: it covers six days plus holidays, while still excluding Sunday. The other options are less accurate because: - Serving on Sundays is typically not allowed. - “Weekdays only” would exclude Saturday and holidays, which are commonly permitted. - “Only on court days” is too restrictive; service can occur outside court sessions.
