Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-arm statutes extend a state's jurisdiction beyond its borders to out-of-state individuals or businesses. This allows a state to exercise jurisdiction over someone who may not have physical presence in the state but has sufficient contacts with the state to warrant legal action. In contrast, in personam and in rem jurisdiction apply only within the state's boundaries, while diversity jurisdiction is based on the parties being from different states and the amount in controversy exceeding a certain threshold.
