Ch. 2- Business Law; Questions and Answers (A+)\ Jurisdiction Correct-A court's power to hear a case and to issue a decision binding on the
parties.
In order to render a binding decision in a civil case, a court must have *subject matter
jurisdiction* and *in personal jurisdiction* (*in rem jurisdiction*).
Even if a court has jurisdiction, applicable venue requirements must also be satisfied in order
for the case to proceed in that court.
Subject Matter Jurisdiction Correct-A court's power to decide the type of dispute involved
in the case.
Criminal courts cannot hear civil matters.
In Personam/In Rem Jurisdiction Correct-Based on the residence, location, or activities of
the defendant. A state court has this jurisdiction over defendants who are citizens or
residents of the state (even if situated out-of-state), who are within the state's borders when
process is served on them (even if nonresidents),1 or who con- sent to the court's authority
(for instance, by entering the state to defend against the plaintiff's claim).
