How would you like to be served legal papers via Facebook? Kinda hard to take it seriously, hmmm? Maybe not...

I am SO bringing this up in my civ pro class!

At first I felt it was pretty crazy... but after reading the article it makes sense. After all, they did try to serve the papers and they were unable to find any other way of contacting the guy.

I think that's the key thing that people need to focus on here... this is NOT saying that FaceBook is an everyday alternative to personal service; but that it IS a valid way of tracking down a defendant who was otherwise unreachable. And probably a lot cheaper than hiring a process server in another country to track the guy down!

I'll be very interested in hearing what your prof and classmates have to say about it...
