It means that the property was "sued" rather than the person who owns the property. In fact, the case may revolve around who is the rightful owner.

You sometimes see cases with names like, "Health Department versus ten bushels of abandoned clams."

An in rem judgment is a legal decision that applies to a specific piece of property rather than a person. It determines the rights and obligations related to that property, such as ownership or liens, regardless of who the owner may be.

Does judgment in rem prevail judgment in person-am?

No, they are different types of relief that can be given by the court. "In rem" refers to the object in dispute, and "in personam" to the litigant. A judgement in rem would be a declaration that a certain person is the owner of the property, but a judgement in personam might be an award of damages to be paid by the defendant for trespass, nuisance or some similar tort. Historically speaking, the ability of English courts of Law to make judgements in rem about certain property while the courts of Equity could make judgements in personam about the owners of the property led to the development of the concept of a Trust.
