Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Subject matter jurisdiction is always necessary for a court to hear a case, and it can be satisfied by the court having authority over the type of legal issue involved in the case. In addition to subject matter jurisdiction, a court must also have either in personam or in rem jurisdiction over the parties involved. So, the court either should have jurisdiction over the person involved in the case (in personam) or over the property involved in the case (in rem). Hence, option C correctly states that a court needs subject matter jurisdiction and either in personam or in rem jurisdiction to hear a case.
