Read a random definition: thereto
Definition: Jus in personam (Latin for "right against a person") is a legal term that refers to the right to take legal action against a specific person to enforce their obligation.
For example, if someone owes you money, you have a jus in personam to take legal action against them to collect the debt. This right is specific to the person who owes you money and cannot be enforced against anyone else.
Jus in personam is also known as jura in personam.
