From the Paper:
"Filing a complaint with the court initiates the civil action process. The summons is signed by the clerk and bears the seal of the court. It identifies the court where the process started as well as the defendant. It states the name and address of the plaintiff. It also states the time when the defendant must appear and notify the defendant that failure to do so will result in a judgment by default against the defendant for the relief demanded in the complaint. Upon or after filing the complaint, the plaintiff may present the summons to the clerk for signature and seal. If the summons is in proper form, the clerk shall sign, seal, and issue it to the plaintiff for service on the defendant, and copies are issued for each defendant to be served. A summons is served with a copy of the complaint, and the plaintiff is responsible for service of a summons and complaint within 120 days or the court dismisses the complaint."Sample of Sources Used:
