Talk:In rem jurisdiction

Definition of "In rem jurisdiction"

edit

Currently, this article starts with "In rem jurisdiction (Latin, "power about or against 'the thing'"[1])" where [1] cites Black's Law Dictionary.

I don't believe it. I think Black's Law Dictionary defines "in rem jurisdiction" and does not claim that "jurisdiction" is Latin for anything. The only Latin part of that is "in rem" which means, "made or availing against or affecting a thing."

Accordingly, I am adjusting the paragraph accordingly. DavidForthoffer (talk) 07:18, 20 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Adding section on Canada

edit

The article is currently focused primarily on the United States, with a brief section on China. I plan to add a section explaining in rem jurisdiction in Canada, including examples of cases, similar to the section on the United States. All of this is in an effort to improve the global perspective of this article. I also note I'm a law student at the University of New Brunswick, undertaking this editing as part of an assignment.

The new material is a very general overview. I hope in the future more information can be added, and that information about other jurisdictions might be included. MusicalLawyer (talk) 16:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
