Logan County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Unless the plaintiff makes a written request, the clerk handles summonses by certified mail. That request routes the work to the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Logan County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Look at Civ.R. 4.1 as a ladder with rungs in order: mail, then a written request, then a named person. The rung for hand delivery in common pleas is the sheriff of the county where the party resides or may be found. The rung beside it is a person designated by court order, which the rule allows for up to a year. Our sheriff versus private server article explains the differences.
