It generates properly formatted certificates with accurate legal attestation language for every common service method, from CM/ECF electronic filing to hand delivery.

Drafting certificates of service is one of the most repetitive tasks in litigation practice.

Can it handle mixed-method service to different parties?

Yes. CaseMark automatically organizes your certificate into separate sections by service method, listing each party or counsel under the applicable delivery heading. This ensures clarity and compliance with court requirements.
