    INTRODUCTION

    One of the most important words in law: Notice. It indicates that a procedural requirement is being fulfilled. A notice can be a verb ("The defendant is being noticed as to our intent.") or it can be a noun ("I am including a notice of this action.") In this section, the notice informs the other party that a motion has been filed in court.
