What (who) is in rem - definition
TYPE OF JURISDICTION
In rem; Action in Rem; Jurisdiction in rem
In rem
·add. ·- Lit., in or against a (or the) thing;.
in rem
[?n'r?m]
¦ adjective Law made against or affecting a thing, and therefore other people generally. Compare with in personam.
Origin
L., 'against a thing'.
in rem
adj. from Latin "against or about a thing," referring to a lawsuit or other legal action directed toward property, rather than toward a particular person. Thus, if title to property is the issue, the action is "in rem." The term is important since the location of the property determines which court has jurisdiction and enforcement of a judgment must be upon the property and does not follow a person. "In rem" is different from "in personam," which is directed toward a particular person.

In rem jurisdiction
In rem jurisdiction ("power about or against 'the thing'") is a legal term describing the power a court may exercise over property (either real or personal) or a "status" against a person over whom the court does not have in personam jurisdiction. Jurisdiction in rem assumes the property or status is the primary object of the action, rather than personal liabilities not necessarily associated with the property.
