Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, in an installment of our “Listen and Learn” series, we’re tackling another Constitutional Law topic — that is justiciability, or the issue of deciding whether a court can make a formal judgment on a legal matter.
In this episode we discuss:
- What three requirements must a plaintiff meet in order to have standing?
- The special doctrines of taxpayer, organizational, and third-party standing
- When is it too early or too late to bring a case?
- The “Case or Controversy” Clause
- In what circumstances will a court hear a case that would normally be moot?
- Analyzing two examples involving justiciability
