Standing is the legal right to bring a lawsuit. Only a person with something actually at stake in a dispute has standing to bring a lawsuit.
The leading precedents of the U.S. Supreme Court on standing are:
- Ass'n of Data Processing Serv. Org., Inc. v. Camp
- Hunt v. Washington State Apple Adver. Comm'n
- Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife
In Establishment Clause cases, plaintiffs challenge religion in public life based on two separate types of standing:
- taxpayer standing
- non-economic injury, such as alleged offense or feeling of exclusion
