See Jus An Rem. “The objection to using the term jus in re Is that the expression occurs in the classical jurists as meaning an interest in a thing short of ownership, as the interest of a mortgagee in the thing pledged, and on this ground the term jus in rcm, which in this sense is not found in the classical jurists, but is supported by the analogy of the familiar term actio in rem, seems preferable.” Sand. Inst. Just. xlix. See Jus Ad Rem.
