Extradition and rendition
<p>As a non-lawyer, I have an understanding of the terms in the subject line that comes from TV shows, stuff I heard somewhere, Facebook, etc.  And that understanding so far is this:</p>

<ul>
<li>Rendition is the act of one state handing someone over to another state.</li>
<li>Extradition is the legal proceeding in which a court in the state where the person is found decides whether to hand them over.</li>
</ul>

<p>Does this correspond in some way to reality?  What revisions might my understanding need?</p>

<p>Rendition is the act of surrendering a person or object, generally used in the context of transfers between jurisdictions. </p>

<p>Rendition can also be use more broadly, in the context of producing evidence or witnesses. </p>

<p>Extradition is a type of rendition, relaying specifically to criminals or suspected criminals, where states have a treaty which require or allow them to do so. </p>
