I received a summons regarding a civil matter. It was filed on Nov 26 , says i have to respond on a legal form?

If you're asking if you want to pursue this, assuming that you were properly served you don't have a choice.  If you don't respond a default judgment will be entered against you which (again assuming that you were validly served) you will not be able to overturn.  Presumably you received a complaint with the summons; you need to answer the complaint within the allowed time.  In general, that means filing a document in which you admit or deny the allegations of the complaint (or you can say you don't know whether a particular allegation is true), and set forth any affirmative defenses and/or counterclaims you may have against the plaintiff.  You may want to consult an attorney; if you can't afford one, the clerk of the court may be able to help you, or at least refer you to some pro bono help in your area.
