Lynn Ott has contacted me to request such an exam. The exam is scheduled for January 23, _____, at 1:30 in the afternoon. The examining physician is Dr. Melissa Ward, whose office is at 1644 Fountain Drive near exit 103 off I-275 in Legalville. Please make arrangements to be at Dr. Ward’s office at the appointed time. The exam will consist of a routine examination of your injuries, brief strength and movement tests, and a dis- cussion with the doctor about your injuries and disabilities. The exam should last about an hour. Before going to the examination, you may choose to make a list of your injuries, treatments, pain, disabilities, and current status. A review of your injury diary should help you. You should cooperate fully in the exam and be sure neither to overstate nor understate the progress of your condition. Mr. White believes the exam will be beneficial to your case. If you have any concerns, please let me know. Very truly yours, Terry Salyer Paralegal ©2008 Thomson Delmar Learning EXHIBIT 9:8 ■ Federal Form 25: Request for Admission Under Rule 36 [Caption] Plaintiff A.B. requests Defendant C.D. within _____ days after service of this request to make the following admis- sions for the purpose of this action only and subject to all pertinent objections to admissibility which may be interposed at the trial: 1.

These are documents created during the pre-trial, trial, and post-trial stages of the litigation process. The skills in creating these documents are transferable to many other areas of legal writing. The most common litigation documents include: Summons Interrogatories Complaints Request for Admissions Motions Request for Production of Documents Notices Request for Medical Examination Briefs (or Independent Medical Examination – IME) Subpoenas Deposition Summaries 143 Essential Skills for Paralegals: Volume II | Barber/Navallo Essential Skills for Paralegals: Volume II § 6.2 THE SUMMONS Process is the summons and complaint. Service of process, then, is the presenting of the summons and complaint to a defendant in a legal action. (Preparing a complaint is discussed on the following pages.) Technically, a summons is not a pleading. It is an instrument. However, it is usually placed in the pleading portion of a client’s file. Serving the summons and complaint fulfills one of the due process requirements of a lawsuit. Everyone has a due process right to know why and by whom he or she is being sued.
