Answer

Yes.



Answer

The things that must be served on every party in the case or their attorney if they have one are: 1. Any and all discovery requests and responses; 2. Anything filed with the court; and 3. Any other communication with the court that is not purely administrative communications with the court clerk's office. As with most things legal there are some exceptions in special circumstances, but that's basically it.
