  Jet quenching has been one of the most important indicators that
ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions produce a deconfined state of quarks
and gluons, known as the Quark-Gluon Plasma. While the quenching of jets
traditionally refers to the energy loss of high-momentum partons, the study of
jet quenching has grown into a multi-pronged field where the measurement of
jets and their modification in heavy-ion collisions is used as an important
tool to study many aspects of QCD deconfinement. This contribution reviews the
current experimental status of jets at the LHC and RHIC, and reports recent
experimental highlights.
