Step-by-step explanation:

Personam jurisdiction

In the authority of an individual, jurisdiction over even a specific person alluded to. In particular, if heard before a criminal court, which court was allowed to decide on any case by which it had otherwise authority.

"long arm" statute

A long-arm legislation is a law that permits a judge, on the grounds of some of these crimes undertaken by an other in offender, to seek legal authority over an other in defendant, such that the plaintiff has an adequate relationship with the prosecution.
