Practice question
An ejectment plaintiff seeks a personal command to vacate, but argues that a property-limited label permits an unlimited personal judgment without establishing the required jurisdiction over the defendant. Which is sound?
- The actual in personam object requires the corresponding personal-jurisdiction foundation under the applicable current rules.
- A label supplies every missing jurisdictional fact.
- Real-action venue necessarily creates personal jurisdiction.
- The presence of land always excuses summons and submission.
- Any local asset makes every personal judgment valid.
