Podcast Episode 110: Listen and Learn — The Basics of Justiciability (Con Law)

Welcome back to the Bar Exam 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
