This blog entry is just a quick notice that the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania has come out with a form for all Certificates of Service. It is Local Form 7 on the attached link:

This might be useful for some of our clients who do their own drafting or filing in this district. The Form requires filers to identify the document(s) being served in the title of the pleading – such as Certificate of Service of Motion for Relief from Stay and Order Setting Hearing Date and Response Deadline and further requires the server to identify how each party was served – by mail, certified mail or email, etc.
