Jurisdiction is defined as the power or authority to decide legal cases.

Federal jurisdiction refers to the legal scope of the government's powers in the U.S.A.

In rem jurisdiction refers to the power a court that it may exercise over property against a person over whom the court does not have in personam jurisdiction.
