'''Third party standing''' is an exception to general rules requiring [[standing]] before a lawsuit can proceed in [[federal court]].

To establish '''third party standing''', a plaintiff before the court must have suffered an injury so that they have some stake as well, show a close relationship with the absent party, and prove that there was a hardship preventing the absent party from bringing the case on his own behalf.

This exception is often used to permit [[federal courts]] to exercise [[jurisdiction]] over challenges to [[abortion]] laws. ''See Singleton'', 428 U.S. at 112-118 (upholding ability of physician to bring claim on behalf of patients regarding government interference in abortions).
