In personam jurisdiction refers to a court’s power to hear a case and render a decision that is binding on a particular defendant. It is determined by the defendant’s contacts with the forum state and the type of claim asserted against the defendant. In contrast, in rem jurisdiction refers to a court’s power over a particular item of property, while quasi in rem jurisdiction refers to a court’s authority to adjudicate a claim against a defendant’s property. Sua sponte refers to a court’s power to act on its own initiative without being prompted by a party.
