An electronic message directing an individual to be present at a judicial proceeding. It serves as official communication from a court or legal entity, informing the recipient of the date, time, and location of a required appearance. For example, an individual might receive such a message specifying the need to attend a hearing related to a traffic violation.
This method of notification offers advantages in terms of speed and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional mail. Its use streamlines the process of disseminating important legal information. Historically, physical documents were the primary means of delivering such directives, leading to potential delays and higher administrative burdens. The digital format ensures rapid transmission and receipt confirmation, improving the efficiency of court operations and increasing the likelihood of timely compliance.
