This class covers the requirements of serving papers abroad using the Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters, also known as the Hague Service Convention, plus tips on how to find information on proper service for jurisdictions not covered by Hague. 

Class covers:

• What is the Hague Service Convention?
• When does the Hague Service Convention apply?
• Procedures for service of papers outside the U.S. under the Hague Service Convention
• How to find out the proper method of service if the Hague Service Convention does not apply
