is Jurisdiction that a Court in any State may exercise over large items of moveable property located within the physical territory covered by its powers regardless as to whether there is any personal jurisdiction over those persons who may have an interest in the property. The most frequent circumstance in which this occurs in the Anglo-American legal system is when a suit is brought in Admiralty Law against a vessel to satisfy debts arising from the operation or use of the vessel.
A right ''in rem'' or a judgment ''in rem'' binds the world as opposed to rights and judgments '' Inter Partes '' which only bind those involved in their creation.
