John is a resident of Iowa. While driving through California, he is in an accident involving Marisol, a California resident. Marisol files a lawsuit in a California state court. Over John, the California court has: a. in rem jurisdiction. b. in personam jurisdiction. c. no jurisdiction. d. diversity jurisdiction

in personam jurisdiction

Explanation:

In personam jurisdiction/personal jurisdiction refers to jurisdiction over a particular person (or entity, such as a company). In other words in personam jurisdiction, if held by a state court, gives the court the power to make decisions concerning a particular party/person/entity/defendant(rights and liabilities) if sued. This applies to the case above.

.

The answer is B.

Explanation:

The situation given in the question where the accident that has happened and the court is in a different state where John is not a resident is an example of a situation where the court has "In Personam Jurisdiction" over the person. The court has the right to decide/rule for the rights or liabilities of the person(s).
