What is the difference between specific jurisdiction and general jurisdiction under general US laws?
General jurisdiction and specific jurisdiction is somewhat related to the Minimum contacts analysis put forth by International Shoe. A state that has general jurisdiction over a Defendant, either a person or a corporation, has the power over the Defendant for any claim arising in the world (meaning the claim does not have to have a transactional relationship with the forum (court asserting personal jurisdiction)). However, to have general jurisdiction over a defendant, the defendant must have systematic and continuous contacts with the state. Other points to remember for general jurisdiction: 1) a state always has general jurisdiction over a corporation that is headquartered there (i.e the state has power to bring the defendant, that has its headquarters there, into court for a claim arising outside of the state.) 2) a state always has general jurisdiction over a person that is domiciled in that state (i.e the state has power to bring the defendant, that has its domiciled there, into court for a claim arising outside of the state.) Specific Jurisdiction requires a transactional relationship (i.e the claims arises out of the Defendants in state activities (transactional relationship)), but only requires minimal minimum contacts, not systematic and continuous. Specific jurisdiction only allows the court power to adjudicate claims over the defendant arising out its in state activity.
How does a court get jurisdiction of a defendant?

Can a civil court change the status of plaintiff to be the defendant?
No. Whoever files first is the Plaintiff. If the Defendant then chooses to "cross-sue", the Defendant will still be the defendant on the pleadings even though by virtue thereof, the defendant has launched what is called a counter-claim. In such a scenario, the Defendant will have to defend the Plaintiff's claim, and progress the counter-claim ---- in the same way the plaintiff will need to progress its claim as Plaintiff (and yes, in the same way, the Plaintiff will have to defend the counter-claim launched by the Defendant). By way of additional info, note that the "whoever files first" rule is generally applied to "fix" jurisdiction too. Although the general rule is that the Defendant should be sued in its own jurisdiction, rules modify this basic approach, most often by way of the applicable treaty (e.g. by "special jurisdiction" and "exclusive jurisdiction") and thus by such rules, often the plaintiff is able to sue in its own jurisdiction. Therefore if both potential parties believe they have a claim against the other, where the rules allow for the jurisdiction to be in the plaintiff's own, then it works on a "first come first served basis.
