Answer to Question 1

In rem jurisdiction is a court's power to adjudicate the rights to a given piece of property, including the power to seize and hold it. Personal jurisdiction is a court's power to bring a person into its adjudicative process; jurisdiction over a defendant's personal rights, rather than merely over property interests. Subject matter jurisdiction is jurisdiction over the nature of the case and the type of relief sought; the extent to which a court can rule on the conduct of persons or the status of things.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
