What is legal notice publication?
Legal notice publication is the printing of a required notice in a newspaper a court has adjudicated as a newspaper of general circulation. It gives public notice when the law requires it, or when a person can’t be found for personal service.
Requirements vary by notice type. Many California notices run once a week for four consecutive weeks, and service by publication requires a court order under CCP §415.50. Missing a run date or using the wrong paper can mean starting over.
